William Shakespeare Quotes | Quoterism

William Shakespeare

(1564–1616) · British Playwright

English playwright, poet, and actor

There is a tide in the affairs of men, Which taken at the flood, leads on to fortune. Omitted, all the voyage of their life is bound in shallows and in miseries. On such a full sea are we now afloat. And we must take the current when it serves, or lose our ventures.
We cannot conceive of matter being formed of nothing, since things require a seed to start from... Therefore there is not anything which returns to nothing, but all things return dissolved into their elements.
'Tis one thing to be tempted, another thing to fall.
Fortune brings in some boats that are not steered.
I am not bound to please thee with my answer.
Go to your bosom: Knock there, and ask your heart what it doth know.
He that is giddy thinks the world turns round.
God has given you one face, and you make yourself another.
Things done well and with a care, exempt themselves from fear.
Cowards die many times before their deaths; the valiant never taste of death but once.
