This is the excellent foppery of the world that when we are sick in fortune -- often the surfeits of our own behavior -- we make guilty of our disasters the sun, the moon, and stars, as if we were villains on necessity, fools by heavenly compulsion, knaves, thieves, and treachers by spherical predominance, drunkards, liars, and adulterers by an enforced obedience of planetary influence. An admirable evasion of whoremaster man, to lay his goatish disposition on the charge of a star.
More Quotes from William Shakespeare:
Now she unweaves the web that she hath wrought;Adonis lives, and Death is not to blame;
It was not she that call'd him all to naught:
Now she adds honours to his hateful name;
She clepes him king of graves and grave for kings,
Imperious supreme of all mortal things.
William Shakespeare
O she doth teach the torches to burn bright.
William Shakespeare
He jests at scars that never felt a wound.
William Shakespeare
What love, thinkst thou, I sue so much to get?
William Shakespeare
I see that the fashion wears out more apparel than the man.
William Shakespeare
Love, whose month is ever May,
Spied a blossom passing fair
Playing in the wanton air:
Through the velvet leaves the wind
All unseen 'gan passage find;
That the lover, sick to death,
Wish'd himself the heaven's breath.
William Shakespeare
