More Quotes By William Shakespeare

I am not bound to please thee with my answer.
Don’t waste your love on somebody who doesn’t value it.
Cowards die many times before their deaths; the valiant never taste of death but once.
Come what come may, time and the hour runs through the roughest day.
Uneasy lies the head that wears a crown.
We know what we are, but know not what we may be.
To do a great right, do a little wrong.
This above all: to thine own self be true.
The empty vessel makes the loudest sound.
The robbed that smiles, steals something from the thief.
Small cheer and great welcome make a merry feast.
Sweet are the uses of adversity which, like the toad, ugly and venomous, wears yet a precious jewel in his head.
