William Quotes

"To endure is greater than to dare; to tire out hostile fortune; to be daunted by no difficulty; to keep heart when all have lost it; to go through intrigue spotless; and to forgo even ambition when the end is gained--who can say this is not greatness." ~ The Virginians by William Makepeace Thackeray He had placed himself at her feet so long that the poor little woman had been accustomed to trample upon him. She didn't wish to marry him, but she wished to keep him. She wished to give him nothing, but that he should give her all. It is a bargain not unfrequently levied in love. ~ Vanity Fair by William Makepeace Thackeray "The eagle suffers little birds to sing." ~ Titus Andronicus by William Shakespeare "Sorrow concealed, like an oven stopp'd,
Doth burn the heart to cinders where it is." ~ Titus Andronicus by William Shakespeare "These words are razors to my wounded heart." ~ Titus Andronicus by William Shakespeare "Sweet mercy is nobility's true badge." ~ Titus Andronicus by William Shakespeare "Full fathom five thy father lies:
Of his bones are coral made:
Those are pearls that were his eyes:
Nothing of him that doth fade
But doth suffer a sea-change
Into something rich and strange." ~ The Tempest by William Shakespeare "How many goodly creatures are there here!
How beauteous mankind is! O brave new world
That has such people in't!" ~ The Tempest by William Shakespeare "We are such stuff
As dreams are made on, and our little life
Is rounded with a sleep." ~ The Tempest by William Shakespeare "Misery acquaints a man with strange bed-fellows." ~ The Tempest by William Shakespeare
