Oft expectation fails, and most oft where most it promises and oft it hits where hope is coldest and despair most sits.
More Quotes from William Shakespeare:
But what might you think,When I had seen this hot love on the wing
(As I perceiv'd it, I must tell you that,
Before my daughter told me), what might you,
Or my dear Majesty your queen here, think,
If I had play'd the desk or table book,
Or given my heart a winking, mute and dumb,
Or look'd upon this love with idle sight?
William Shakespeare
I am the Prince of Wales and think not, Percy, To share with me in glory any more Two stars keep not their motion in one sphere Nor can one England brook a double reign,
William Shakespeare
I must weep,
But they are cruel tears; this sorrow's heavenly,
It strikes where it doth love.
William Shakespeare
But what thou art, God, thou, and I, do know;
And all too soon, I fear, the King shall rue.
William Shakespeare
The greater cantle of the world is lost
With very ignorance; we have kiss'd away
Kingdoms and provinces.
William Shakespeare
How sweet the moonlight sleeps upon this bank Here will we sit, and let the sounds of music Creep in our ears soft stillness and the night Become the touches of sweet harmony. Sit, Jessica look, how the floor of heaven Is thick inlaid with patines of bright gold There's not the smallest orb which thou behold'st But in his motion like an angel sings, Still quiring to the young-eyed cherubins. Such harmony is in immortal souls But whilst this muddy vesture of decay Doth grossly close it in, we cannot hear it.
