A jest's prosperity lies in the ear
Of him that hears it, never in the tongue
Of him that makes it.

William Shakespeare 6495 quotes

(Andrew:) I am not such an as...

(Andrew:) I am not such an ass but I can keep my hand dry. But
what's your jest?
(Maria:) A dry jest, sir.
(Andrew:) Are you full of them?
(Maria:) Ay, sir, I have them at my fingers' ends. Marry, now I
let go your hand, I am barren.

William Shakespeare 6495 quotes

Such an exploit have I in hand, Ligarius,
Had you a healthful ear to hear of it.

William Shakespeare 6495 quotes

Friends, Romans countrymen, lend me your ears;
I come to bury Caesar, not to praise him.

William Shakespeare 6495 quotes

Romans, countrymen, and lovers...

Romans, countrymen, and lovers, hear me for my cause, and be
silent, that you may hear.

William Shakespeare 6495 quotes

All gold and silver rather turn to dirt,
An 'tis no better reckoned but of these
Who worship dirty gods.

William Shakespeare 6495 quotes

If thou art rich, thou'rt poor...

If thou art rich, thou'rt poor,
For, like an ass whose back with ingots bows,
Thou bear'st thy heavy riches but a journey,
And death unloads thee.

William Shakespeare 6495 quotes

All that glisters is not gold;...

All that glisters is not gold;
Often have you heard that told;
Many a man his life hath sold;
But my outside to behold.

William Shakespeare 6495 quotes

When workmen strive to do bett...

When workmen strive to do better than well,
They do confound their skill in covetousness,
And oftentimes excusing of a fault
Doth make the fault the worse by the excuse,
As patches set upon a little breach
Discredit more in hiding of the fault
Than did the fault before it was so patched.

William Shakespeare 6495 quotes

By Jove, I am not covetous for...

By Jove, I am not covetous for gold,
Nor care I who doth feed upon my cost;
It yearns me not if me my garments wear;
Such outward things dwell not in my desires:
But if it be a sin to covet honor,
I am the most offending soul alive.

William Shakespeare 6495 quotes

Share the advice betwixt you; ...

Share the advice betwixt you; if both gain all
The gift doth stretch itself as 'tis receiv'd,
And is enough for both.

William Shakespeare 6495 quotes

This casket threatens; men tha...

This casket threatens; men that hazard all
Do it in hope of fair advantages.
A golden mind stoops not to shows of dross;
I'll then nor give nor hazard aught for lead.

William Shakespeare 6495 quotes

How quickly nature falls into ...

How quickly nature falls into revolt
When gold becomes her object!
For this the foolish overcareful fathers
Have broke their sleep with thoughts, their brains with care.
Their bones with industry.
For this they have engrossed and piled up
The cankered heaps of strange-achieved gold;
For this they have been thoughtful to invest
Their sons with arts and martial exercises.

William Shakespeare 6495 quotes

Thou that so stoutly hast resi...

Thou that so stoutly hast resisted me,
Give me thy gold, if thou hast any gold;
For I have bought it with an hundred blows.

William Shakespeare 6495 quotes

(Portia:) A quarrel ho! alre...

(Portia:) A quarrel ho! already! What's the matter?
(Gratiano:) About a hoop of gold, a paltry ring
That she did give me, whose posy was
For all the world like cutler's poetry
Upon a knife--'Love me, and leave me not.'

William Shakespeare 6495 quotes

You have a choice between the ...

You have a choice between the natural stability of gold and the
honesty and intelligence of the members of government. And with
all due respect for those gentlemen, I advise you, as long as the
capitalist system lasts, vote for gold.

William Shakespeare 6495 quotes

What think you, if he were con...

What think you, if he were conveyed to bed,
Wrapped in sweet clothes, rings put upon his fingers,
A most delicious banquet by his bed,
And brave attendants near him when he wakes,
Would not the beggar then forget himself?

William Shakespeare 6495 quotes

Like sending them ruffles, when wanting a shirt.

Decrepit miser! base ignoble wretch!
I am descended of a gentler blood.
Thou art no father nor friend of mine.

William Shakespeare 6495 quotes

There shall be in England seven halfpenny loaves sold for a
penny; the three-hooped pot shall have ten hoops; and I will make
it felony to drink small beer.
