And some that smile have in their hearts, I fear, Millions of mischiefs.

False face must hide what the false heart doth know.

Macbeth (Macbeth, Act I scene vii)

Love talks with better knowledge, and knowledge with dearer love.

Duke Vincentio (Measure for Measure, Act III scene ii)

[dailyshakespeare-blog]

Come away, come away, death, And in sad cypress let me be laid; Fly away, fly away breath; I am slain by a fair cruel maid. My shroud of white, stuck all with yew, O, prepare it! My part of death, no one so true Did share it. Not a flower, not a flower sweet On my black coffin let there be strown; Not a friend, not a friend greet My poor corpse, where my bones shall be thrown: A thousand thousand sighs to save, Lay me, O, where Sad true lover never find my grave, To weep there!

Feste (Twelfth Night, Act II scene iv)

Iago (Othello, Act I scene i)

[dailyshakespeare-blog]

See, what a scourge is laid upon your hate, That heaven finds means to kill your joys with love!

Prince (Romeo and Juliet, Act V scene iii)

[dailyshakespeare-blog]

A beastly ambition, which the gods grant thee t' attain to! If thou wert the lion, the fox would beguile thee; if thou wert the lamb, the fox would eat three: if thou wert the fox, the lion would suspect thee, when peradventure thou wert accused by the ass: if thou wert the ass, thy dulness would torment thee, and still thou livedst but as a breakfast to the wolf: if thou wert the wolf, thy greediness would afflict thee, and oft thou shouldst hazard thy life for thy dinner: wert thou the unicorn, pride and wrath would confound thee and make thine own self the conquest of thy fury: wert thou a bear, thou wouldst be killed by the horse: wert thou a horse, thou wouldst be seized by the leopard: wert thou a leopard, thou wert german to the lion and the spots of thy kindred were jurors on thy life: all thy safety were remotion and thy defence absence. What beast couldst thou be, that were not subject to a beast? and what a beast art thou already, that seest not thy loss in transformation!

Timon (Timon of Athens, Act IV scene iii)

[dailyshakespeare-blog]

He is deformed, crooked, old and sere, Ill-faced, worse bodied, shapeless everywhere; Vicious, ungentle, foolish, blunt, unkind; Stigmatical in making, worse in mind.

Adriana (The Comedy of Errors, Act IV scene ii)

[dailyshakespeare-blog]

I see men's judgments are A parcel of their fortunes; and things outward Do draw the inward quality after them, To suffer all alike.

Enobarbus (Antony and Cleopatra, Act III scene xiii)

[dailyshakespeare-blog]

Thou art a soul in bliss; but I am bound Upon a wheel of fire, that mine own tears Do scald like molten lead.

Lear (King Lear, Act IV scene vii)

[dailyshakespeare-blog]

I know thou hadst rather Follow thine enemy in a fiery gulf Than flatter him in a bower.

Volumnia (Coriolanus, Act III scene ii)

[dailyshakespeare-blog]

You draw me, you hard-hearted adamant; But yet you draw not iron, for my heart Is true as steel.

Helena (A Midsummer Night’s Dream, Act II scene i)

[dailyshakespeare-blog]

Bad is the world; and all will come to nought, When such bad dealings must be seen in thought.

Scrivener (Richard III, Act III scene vi)

[dailyshakespeare-blog]

Doc, I've not had my daily dose in a while and I'm beginning to relapse. Can we get some quotes soon? Maybe from Richard III?

Apologies for my absence! I have some Richard III queued up for tomorrow!

'Tis one thing to be tempted... Another thing to fall.

Angelo (Measure for Measure, Act III scene i)

[dailyshakespeare-blog]

Thou art a soul in bliss; but I am bound Upon a wheel of fire, that mine own tears Do scald like molten lead.

King Lear (King Lear, Act IV scene vii)

[dailyshakespeare-blog]

Let us sit and mock the good housewife Fortune from her wheel, that her gifts may henceforth be bestowed equally.

Celia (As You Like It, Act I scene ii)
