WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE QUOTES II

But, O, how bitter a thing it is to look into happiness through another man's eyes!

WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE, As You Like It

For marriage is a matter of more worth
Than to be dealt with in attorneyship.

WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE, Henry VI

For what is wedlock forced but a hell,
An age of discord and continued strife?
Whereas the contrary bringeth forth bliss,
And is a pattern of celestial peace.

WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE, Henry VI

Let me not to the marriage of true minds
Admit impediments. Love is not love
Which alters when it alteration finds,
Or bends with the remover to remove.
Oh, no, it is an ever-fixèd mark
That looks on tempests and is never shaken;
It is the star to every wandering bark
Whose worth's unknown, although its height be taken.

WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE, sonnet cxvi

The world must be peopled. When I said I would die a bachelor, I did not think I should live till I were married.

WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE, Much Ado About Nothing

There's small choice in rotten apples.

WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE, The Taming of the Shrew

Oh, it is excellent to have a giant's strength, but it is tyrannous to use it like a giant.

WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE, Measure for Measure

Seest thou not what a deformed thief this fashion is?

WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE, Much Ado About Nothing

Patience is sottish, and impatience does become a dog that's mad.

WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE, Antony and Cleopatra

Tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day
To the last syllable of recorded time,
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death.

WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE, Macbeth

Patience is pale cold cowardice in noble breasts.

WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE, Richard II

Though patience be a tired mare, yet she will plod.

WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE, Henry V

The fashion wears out more apparel than the man.

WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE, Much Ado About Nothing

I wasted time, and now doth time waste me.

WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE, Richard II

Ay, but to die, and go we know not where;
To lie in cold obstruction, and to rot;
This sensible war motion to become
A kneaded clod, and the dilated spirit
To bathe in fiery floods, or to reside
In thrilling region of thick-ribbèd ice;
To be imprisoned in the viewless winds,
And blown with restless violence round about
The pendant world; or to be worse than worst
Of those that lawless and incertain thought
Imagine howling -- 'tis too horrible!
The weariest and most loathèd worldly life
That age, ache, penury, and imprisonment
Can lay on nature is a paradise
To what we fear of death.

WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE, Measure for Measure

Golden lads and girls all must
As chimney-sweepers come to dust.

WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE, Cymbeline
