I shall the effect of this good lesson keep As watchman to my heart, but, good my brother, Do not as some ungracious pastors do, Show me the steep and thorny way to heaven, Whiles like a puffed and reckless libertine Himself the primrose path of dalliance treads And recks not his own rede. - Hamlet Prince of Denmark (Ophelia at I, iii) [Experience : Preaching] Neither a borrower nor a lender be, For loan oft loses both itself and friend, And borrowing dulleth edge of husbandry. - Hamlet Prince of Denmark (Polonius at I, iii) [Borrowing] Springes to catch woodcocks. - Hamlet Prince of Denmark (Polonius at I, iii) [Proverbs] The chariest maid is prodigal enough If she unmask her beauty to the moon. Virtue itself scapes not calumnious strokes. The canker galls the infants of the spring Too oft before their buttons be disclosed, And in the morn and liquid dew of youth Contagious blastments are most imminent. - Hamlet Prince of Denmark (Laertes at I, iii) [Youth] The friends thou hast, and their adoption tried, Grapple them to thy soul with hooks of steel. - Hamlet Prince of Denmark (Polonius at I, iii) [Proverbs] This above all, to thine own self be true, And it must follow as the night the day Thou canst not then be false to any man. - Hamlet Prince of Denmark (Polonius at I, iii) [Truth] Those friends thou hast, and their adoption tried, Grapple them unto thy soul with hoops of steel, But do not dull thy palm with entertainment Of each new-hatched, unfledged courage. - Hamlet Prince of Denmark (Polonius at I, iii) [Friends] Virtue itself scapes not calumnious strokes. - Hamlet Prince of Denmark (Laertes at I, iii) [Calumny] But to my mind, though I am native here And to the manner born, it is a custom More honored in the breach than the observance. - Hamlet Prince of Denmark (Hamlet at I, iv) [Custom] Let me not burst in ignorance, but tell Why thy canonized bones, hearsed in death, Have burst their cerements, why the sepulchre Wherein we saw thee quietly interred Hath oped his ponderous and marble jaws To cast thee up again. - Hamlet Prince of Denmark (Hamlet at I, iv) [Graves] My fate cries out And makes each petty artere in this body As hardy as the Nemean lion's nerve. - Hamlet Prince of Denmark (Hamlet at I, iv) [Fate] Something is rotten in the state of Denmark. - Hamlet Prince of Denmark (Marcellus at I, iv) [Denmark : Politics] What may this mean That thou, dead corpse, again in complete steel, Revisits thus the glimpses of the moon, Making night hideous, and we fools of nature So horridly to shake our disposition With thoughts beyond the reaches of our souls? - Hamlet Prince of Denmark (Hamlet at I, iv) [Night] Why, what should be the fear? I do not set my life at a pin's fee, And for my soul, what can it do to that, Being a thing immortal as itself? - Hamlet Prince of Denmark (Hamlet at I, iv) [Death : Life] But that I am forbid To tell the secrets of my prison house, I could a tale unfold whose lightest word Would harrow up thy soul, freeze thy young blood, Make thy two eyes like stars start from their spheres, Thy knotted and combined locks to part, And each particular hair to stand on end Like quills upon the fretful porpentine. - Hamlet Prince of Denmark (Ghost at I, v) [Hair : Secrecy : Story Telling] Leave her to Heaven, And to those thorns that in her bosom lodge, To prick and sting her. - Hamlet Prince of Denmark (Ghost at I, v) [Proverbs] Murder most foul, as in the best it is, But this most foul, strange, and unnatural. - Hamlet Prince of Denmark (Ghost at I, v) [Murder] My tables--meet it is I set it down That one may smile, and smile, and be a villain. At least I am sure it may be so in Denmark. - Hamlet Prince of Denmark (Hamlet at I, v) [Smiles] O day and night, but this is wondrous strange! - Hamlet Prince of Denmark (Horatio at I, v) [Wonder] O Hamlet, what a falling-off was there, From me, whose love was of that dignity That it went hand in hand even with the vow I made to her in marriage, and to decline Upon a wretch whose natural gifts were poor To those of mine! - Hamlet Prince of Denmark (Ghost at I, v) [Destiny] O my prophetic soul! My uncle? - Hamlet Prince of Denmark (Hamlet at I, v) [Prophecy (Prophesy)] One may smile, and smile, and be a villain. - Hamlet Prince of Denmark (Hamlet at I, v) [Proverbs] Remember thee? Ay, thou poor ghost, while memory holds a seat In this distracted globe. Remember thee? Yea, from the table of my memory I'll wipe away all trivial fond records, All saws of books, all forms, all pressures past That youth and observation copied there, And thy commandment all alone shall live Within the book and volume of my brain, Unmixed with baser matter. - Hamlet Prince of Denmark (Hamlet at I, v) [Memory] The glowworm shows the matin to be near And gins to pale his uneffectual fire. - Hamlet Prince of Denmark (Ghost at I, v) [Glowworms] The time is out of joint. - Hamlet Prince of Denmark (Hamlet at I, v) [Time] Displaying page 84 of 186 for this author: << Prev Next >> 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 50 51 52 53 54 55 56 57 58 59 60 61 62 63 64 65 66 67 68 69 70 71 72 73 74 75 76 77 78 79 80 81 82 83 [84] 85 86 87 88 89 90 91 92 93 94 95 96 97 98 99 100 101 102 103 104 105 106 107 108 109 110 111 112 113 114 115 116 117 118 119 120 121 122 123 124 125 126 127 128 129 130 131 132 133 134 135 136 137 138 139 140 141 142 143 144 145 146 147 148 149 150 151 152 153 154 155 156 157 158 159 160 161 162 163 164 165 166 167 168 169 170 171 172 173 174 175 176 177 178 179 180 181 182 183 184 185 186
