William Shakespeare Blessed Quotations

But what's so blessed-fair that fears no blot? Thou mayst be false, and yet I know it not.

He is half of a blessed man. Left to be finished by such as she; and she a fair divided excellence, whose fullness of perfection lies in him.

Either to die the death or to abjure For ever the society of men. Therefore, fair Hermia, question your desires; Know of your youth, examine well your blood, Whether, if you yield not to your father's choice, You can endure the livery of a nun, For aye to be in shady cloister mew'd, To live a barren sister all your life, Chanting faint hymns to the cold fruitless moon. Thrice-blessed they that master so their blood, To undergo such maiden pilgrimage; But earthlier happy is the rose distill'd, Than that which withering on the virgin thorn Grows, lives and dies in single blessedness.

This blessed plot, this earth, this realm, this England.

These blessed candles of the night.

Rude am I in my speech, And little blessed with the soft phrase of peace.

Blessed are the peacemakers on earth.
