More Quotes from William Shakespeare:
Venus salutes him with this fair good-morrow;"O thou clear god, and patron of all light,
From whom each lamp and shining star doth borrow
The beauteous influence that makes him bright,
There lives a son that suck'd an earthly mother,
May lend thee light, as thou dost lend to other.
William Shakespeare
Let us be Diana's foresters, gentlemen of the shade, minions of the moon.
William Shakespeare
What is love 'tis not hereafter Present mirth hath present laughter.
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
Look, in this place ran Cassius' dagger through;
See what a rent the envious Casca made;
Through this the well-beloved Brutus stabb'd;
And as he pluck'd his cursed steel away,
Mark how the blood of Caesar follow'd it,
As rushing out of doors, to be resolved
If Brutus so unkindly knock'd, or no;
For Brutus, as you know, was Caesar's angel.
William Shakespeare
He lives in fame that died in virtue's cause.
William Shakespeare
