For who would bear the whips and scorns of time,
Th' oppressor's wrong, the proud man's contumely,
The pangs of despis'd love, the law's delay,
The insolence of office, and the spurns
That patient merit of th' unworthy takes,
When he himself might his quietus make
With a bare bodkin?
(The Tragedy Of Hamlet, Prince Of Denmark)
More Quotes from William Shakespeare:
A god on earth thou art.William Shakespeare
Round-hoof'd, short-jointed, fetlocks shag and long,
Broad breast, full eye, small head, and nostril wide,
High crest, short ears, straight legs and passing strong,
Thin mane, thick tail, broad buttock, tender hide:
Look, what a horse should have he did not lack,
Save a proud rider on so proud a back.
William Shakespeare
This world is not for aye, nor 'tis not strange
That even our loves should with our fortunes change;
For 'tis a question left us yet to prove,
Whether love lead fortune, or else fortune love.
William Shakespeare
Bad is the world; and all will come to nought,
When such ill dealing must be seen in thought.
William Shakespeare
O, I die for food!
William Shakespeare
My mother had a maid call'd Barbary;
She was in love, and he she loved proved mad
And did forsake her.
William Shakespeare
