William Shakespeare Thou Quotations

Thou know'st the first time that we smell the air we wawl and cry. When we are born we cry, that we are come to this great state of fools.

Why so large a cost, having so short a lease, does thou upon your fading mansion spend?

If thou remember'st not the slightest folly that ever love did make thee run into, thou hast not loved.

What! Wouldst thou have a serpent sting thee twice?

Own more than thou showest, speak less than thou knowest.

Thou wert best set - thy lower part where thy nose stands

Thou canst not say I did it: never shakeThy gory locks at me.

Thou art not for the fashion of these times,Where none will sweat but for promotion.

What need I fear of thee? But yet I'll make assurance double sure, and take a bond of fate: thou shalt not live; That I may tell pale-hearted fear it lies, And sleep in spite of thunder

Be thou as chaste as ice, as pure as snow, thou shalt not escape calumny.

Blow, blow thou winter wind, Thou art not so unkind As man's ingratitude; Thy tooth is not so keen, Because thou art not seen, Although thy breath be rude

Fear no more the heat o the sun, nor the furious winter's rages. Thou thy worldly task hast done, home art gone and taken thy wages.

The sea all water, yet receives rain still,And in abundance addeth to his store,So thou being rich in will add to thy willOne will of mine to make thy large will more.

O sleep, O gentle sleep, nature's soft nurse, how have I frightened thee, that thou no more wilt weigh my eye-lids down and steep my senses in forgetfulness?

He that is thy friend indeed,He will help thee in thy need:If thou sorrow, he will weep;If thou wake, he cannot sleep:Thus of every grief in heartHe with thee does bear a part.These are certain signs to knowFaithful friend from flattering foe.

The friends thou hast, and their adoption tried, grapple them to thy soul with hoops of steel, but do not dull thy palm with entertainment of each new-hatched unfledged comrade.
