Wouldst thou have that
...

Wouldst thou have that
Which thou esteem'st the ornament of life,
And live a coward in thine own esteem,
Letting 'I dare not' wait upon 'I would,'
Like the poor cat i' th' adage?

William Shakespeare 6495 quotes

A coward, a most devout coward...

A coward, a most devout coward; religious in it.

William Shakespeare 6495 quotes

If it be aught toward the gene...

If it be aught toward the general good,
Set honor in one eye and death i' th' other,
And I will look on both indifferently;
For let the gods so speed me as I love
The name of honor more than I fear death.

William Shakespeare 6495 quotes

Which of them shall I take?

Which of them shall I take?
Both? One? Or neither? Neither can be enjoyed,
If both remain alive. To take the widow
Exasperates, makes mad her sister Goneril;
And hardly shall I carry out my side,
Her husband being alive.

William Shakespeare 6495 quotes

I will not choose what many me...

I will not choose what many men desire,
Because I will not jump with common spirits
And rank me with the barbarous multitudes.

William Shakespeare 6495 quotes

The heavens themselves, the pl...

The heavens themselves, the planets, and this centre
Observe degree, priority, and place,
Insisture, course, proportion, season, form,
Office, and custom, in all line of order.

William Shakespeare 6495 quotes

Not a mouse

Not a mouse
Shall disturb this hallowed house.
I am sent, with broom, before,
To sweep the dust behind the door.

William Shakespeare 6495 quotes

Neither a borrower nor a lende...

Neither a borrower nor a lender be,
For loan oft loses both itself and friend,
And borrowing dulleth edge of husbandry.

William Shakespeare 6495 quotes

Sweets to the sweet! Farewell...

Sweets to the sweet! Farewell.

It is a pretty mocking of the life.

William Shakespeare 6495 quotes

Mine eyes

Mine eyes
Were not in fault, for she was beautiful;
Mine ears, that heard her flattery; nor my heart,
That thought her like her seeming. It had been vicious
To have mistrusted her.

William Shakespeare 6495 quotes

Nay, do not think I flatter.

Nay, do not think I flatter.
For what advancement may I hope from thee,
That no revenue hast but thy good spirits
To feed and clothe thee? Why should the poor be flattered?
No, let the candied tongue like absurd pomp,
And crook the pregnant hinges of the knee
Where thrift may follow fawning.

William Shakespeare 6495 quotes

If he be so resolved,

If he be so resolved,
I can o'ersway him; for he loves to hear
That unicorns may be betrayed with trees
And bears with glasses, elephants with holes,
Lions with toils, and men with flatterers,
He says he does, being then most flattered.

William Shakespeare 6495 quotes

By God, I cannot flatter, I do...

By God, I cannot flatter, I do defy
The tongues of soothers! but a braver place
In my heart's love hath no man than yourself.
Nay, task me to my word; approve me, lord.

William Shakespeare 6495 quotes

What drink'st thou oft, instea...

What drink'st thou oft, instead of homage sweet,
But poisoned flattery?

William Shakespeare 6495 quotes

O that men's ears should be

O that men's ears should be
To counsel deaf but not to flattery!

William Shakespeare 6495 quotes

They do not abuse the king tha...

They do not abuse the king that flatter him.
For flattery is the bellows blows up sin;
The thing the which is flattered, but a spark
To which that blast gives heat and stronger glowing;
Whereas reproof, obedient and in order,
Fits kings as they are men, for they may err.

William Shakespeare 6495 quotes

Take no repulse, whatever she ...

Take no repulse, whatever she doth say;
For 'get you gone,' she doth not mean 'away.'
Flatter and praise, commend, extol their graces;
Though ne'er so black, say they have angels' faces.
That man that hath a tongue, I say is no man,
If with his tongue he cannot win a woman.

William Shakespeare 6495 quotes

Alas, poor Yorick! I knew him...

Alas, poor Yorick! I knew him, Horatio, a fellow of infinite
jest, of most excellent fancy. He hath borne me on his back a
thousand times. And now how abhorred in my imagination it is!
