Famous William Shakespeare Quotes

“On a day - alack the day! - Love, whose month is ever May, Spied a blossom passing fair Playing in the wanton air”

“One touch of nature makes the whole world kin.”

“It is a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury; signifying nothing.”

“Let's go hand in hand, not one before another.”

“Blow, blow, thou winter wind, Thou art not so unkind As mans ingratitude Thy tooth is not so keen, Because thou art not seen, Although thy breath be rude. Heigh-ho sing, heigh-ho unto the green holly Most friendship is feigning, most loving mere folly. Then heigh-ho the holly This life is most jolly. Freeze, freeze, thou bitter sky, That dost not bite so nigh As benefits forgot Though thou the waters warp, Thy sting is not so sharp As friend rememberd not.”

“There's nothing in this world can make me joy: Life is as tedious as a twice-told tale Vexing the dull ear of a drowsy man; And bitter shame hath spoil'd the sweet world's taste That it yields nought but shame and bitterness.”
