Such duty as the subject owes the prince,/Even such a woman oweth to her husband.
If it were done when ’t is done, then ’t were well/It were done quickly
We have heard the chimes at midnight.
If music be the food of love, play on
As flies to wanton boys are we to th' gods,/They kill us for their sport.
Excellent wretch! Perdition catch my soul,/But I do love thee! and when I love thee not,/Chaos is come again.
The eagle suffers little birds to sing.
The quality of mercy is not strain’d
Age cannot wither her, nor custom stale/Her infinite variety.
His nature is too noble for the world:/He would not flatter Neptune for his trident,/Or Jove for ’s power to thunder.
I will make a Star-chamber matter of it.
The common curse of mankind,—folly and ignorance.
Why, man, he doth bestride the narrow world/Like a Colossus, and we petty men/Walk under his huge legs and peep about/To find ourselves dishonourable graves.
Hung be the heavens with black, yield day to night!
Lord, what fools these mortals be!
Our revels now are ended.
The words of Mercury are harsh after the songs of Apollo.
A plague o’ both your houses!
Some rise by sin, and some by virtue fall.
QuotePlaySpeaker
For God’s sake, let us sit upon the ground/And tell sad stories of the death of kings.
Now is the winter of our discontent/Made glorious summer by this sun of York
The first thing we do, let’s kill all the lawyers.
O for a Muse of fire, that would ascend/The brightest heaven of invention!
That no Italian priest/Shall tithe or toll in our dominions.
Let’s go hand in hand, not one before another
How use doth breed a habit in a man!
As an arrow shot/From a well-experienc’d archer hits the mark/His eye doth level at.
All the world ’s a stage,/And all the men and women merely players.
Men shut their doors against a setting sun.
Had I but served my God with half the zeal/I served my king, he would not in mine age/Have left me naked to mine enemies.
A young man married is a man that ’s marr’d
He that hath a beard is more than a youth, and he that hath no beard is less than a man.
Golden lads and girls all must,/As chimney-sweepers, come to dust.
The better part of valour is discretion.
To unpathed waters, undreamed shores.
And many strokes, though with a little axe,/Hew down and fell the hardest-timbered oak.
O, that this too too solid flesh would melt,/Thaw and resolve itself into a dew!
