Famous William Shakespeare Quotes

“Para servir de isca aos peixes. Se não nutrir mais nada, nutrirá minha vingança. Ele me desgraçou, prejudicou-me em meio milhão; riu-se das minhas perdas, caçoou dos meus lucros, escarneceu minha estirpe, atrapalhou meus negócios, esfriou minhas amizades, afogueou meus inimigos; e por que razão? Eu sou judeu. Um judeu não tem olhos? Um judeu não tem mãos, órgãos, dimensões, sentidos, afeições, paixões? Não é alimentado pela mesma comida, ferido pelas mesmas armas, sujeito às mesmas doenças, curado pelos mesmos meios, esquentado e regelado pelo mesmo verão e inverno, tal como um cristão? Quando vós nos feris, não sangramos nós? Quando nos divertis, não nos rimos nós? Quando nos envenenais, não morremos nós? E se nos enganais, não haveremos nós de nos vingar? Se somos como vós em todo o resto, nisto também seremos semelhantes. Se um judeu enganar um cristão, qual é a humildade que encontra? A vingança. Se um cristão enganar um judeu, qual deve ser seu sentimento, segundo o exemplo cristão? A vingança, pois. A vileza que me ensinais eu executo, e, por mais difícil que seja, superarei meus mestres.”

“Un día u otro había de morir. Hubiese habido un tiempo para tales palabras... El día de mañana, y de mañana, y de mañana se desliza paso a paso, día a día, hasta la sílaba final con que el tiempo se escribe. Y todo nuestro ayer iluminó a los necios la senda de cenizas de la muerte. ¡Extínguete, fugaz antorcha! la vida es una sombra tan solo, que transcurre,; un pobre actor que, orgulloso, consume su turno sobre el escenario para jamás volver a ser oído. Es una historia contada por un necio, llena de ruido y furia, que nada significa.”

“Why, all delights are vain, but that most vain Which, with pain purchased, doth inherit pain; As painfully to pore upon a book To seek the light of truth while truth the while Doth falsely blind the eyesight of his look. Light, seeking light, doth light of light beguile; So ere you find where light in darkness lies Your light grows dark by losing of your eyes. Study me how to please the eye indeed By fixing it upon a fairer eye, Who dazzling so, that eye shall be his heed, And give him light that it was blinded by. Study is like the heavens’ glorious sun, That will not be deep searched with saucy looks. Small have continual plodders ever won Save base authority from others’ books. These earthly godfathers of heaven’s lights, That give a name to every fixed star, Have no more profit of their shining nights Than those that walk and wot not what they are. Too much to know is to know naught but fame, And every godfather can give a name. a”

“¡Negro el designo, pronta la mano, dispuesto el veneno, propicia la hora, cómplice la ocasión, y sin testigos! ¡Violenta mixtura de venenosas plantas, arrancadas a medianoche, tres veces infecta, tres veces emponzoñada con la maldición de Hécate; que tus naturales virtudes mágicas y deletéreas le arranquen instantáneamente la vida en plena salud.”

“Tis in ourselves that we are thus or thus. Our bodies are our gardens, to the which our wills are gardeners: so that if we will plant nettles, or sow lettuce, set hyssop and weed up thyme, supply it with one gender of herbs, or distract it with many, either to have it sterile with idleness, or manured with industry, why, the power and corrigible authority of this lies in our wills. If the balance of our lives had not one scale of reason to poise another of sensuality, the blood and baseness of our natures would conduct us to most preposterous conclusions: but we have reason to cool our raging motions, our carnal stings, our unbitted lusts, whereof I take this that you call love to be a sect or scion.”

“I wasted time, and now doth time waste me; For now hath time made me his numbering clock: My thoughts are minutes; and with sighs they jar Their watches on unto mine eyes, the outward watch, Whereto my finger, like a dial's point, Is pointing still, in cleansing them from tears. Now sir, the sound that tells what hour it is Are clamorous groans, which strike upon my heart, Which is the bell: so sighs and tears and groans Show minutes, times, and hours.”
