quote by William Shakespeare

There's not the smallest orb which thou behold'st But in his motion like an angel sings.

— William Shakespeare

Almighty Merchant Of Venice quotations

It is a good divine that follows his own instructions.

But love is blind and lovers cannot see

The moon shines bright. In such a night as this. When the sweet wind did gently kiss the trees and they did make no noise, in such a night.

All that glitters is not gold.

The villany you teach me I shall execute; and it shall go hard but I will better the instruction.

All that glisters is not gold.

Do all men kill the things they do not love .

........... The quality of mercy is not strain'd It droppeth as the gentle rain from heaven Upon the place beneath: it is twice blest It blesseth him that gives and him that takes




Hanging and wiving goes by destiny.

How sweet the moonlight sleeps upon this bank Here we will sit, and let the sounds of music Creep in our ears; soft stillness, and the night Become the touches of sweet harmony







The quality of mercy is not strained

In religion, What damned error but some sober brow Will bless it, and approve it with a text, Hiding the grossness with fair ornament?

Though justice be Thy plea, consider this: That in the course of justice none of us should see salvation. We do pray for mercy, And that same prayer doth teach us all to render The deeds of mercy.



I am never merry when I hear sweet music.

Affection, mistress of passion, sways it to the mood of what it likes or loathes.

The weakest kind of fruit drops earliest to the ground.


How many things by season seasoned are To their right praise and true perfection!






Superfluity comes sooner by white hairs, but competency lives longer.

All that glisters is not gold; Often have you heard that told.

These blessed candles of the night.
