Reason thus with life: If I do lose thee, I do lose a thing That none but fools would keep; a breath thou art, Servile to all the skyey influences That does this habitation where thou keep'st Hourly afflict; merely, thou art death's fool, For him thou labor'st by thy flight to shun, And yet run'st toward him still. - Measure for Measure (Vincentio, the Duke at III, i) [Life] The miserable have no other medicine, But only hope: I have hope to live, and am prepared to die. - Measure for Measure (Claudio at III, i) [Hope : Proverbs] The sense of death is most in apprehension, And the poor beetle that we tread upon In corporal sufferance finds a pang as great As when a giant dies. - Measure for Measure (Isabella at III, i) [Beetles : Proverbs] The sense of death is most in apprehension. - Measure for Measure (Isabella at III, i) [Beetles : Proverbs] Virtue is bold, and goodness never fearful. - Measure for Measure (Vincentio, the Duke at III, i) [Virtue] What's yet in this That bears the name of life?

He who the sword of heaven will bear Should be as holy as severe; Pattern in himself to know, Grace to stand, and virtue go; More nor less to other paying Than by self-offenses weighing. - Measure for Measure (Vincentio, the Duke at III, ii) [Preaching] What king so strong, Can tie the gall up in a slanderer's tongue? - Measure for Measure (Vincentio, the Duke at III, ii) [Proverbs] Here comes a man of comfort, whose advice Hath often stilled my brawling discontent. - Measure for Measure (Mariana at IV, i) [Advice] Take, O take those lips away, That so sweetly were forsworn; And those eyes, the break of day, Lights that do mislead the morn; But my kisses bring again, bring again, Seals of love, but sealed in vain, sealed in vain. - Measure for Measure (Singing Boy at IV, i) [Kisses] 'Tis good; though music oft hath such a charm To make bad good, and good provoke to harm. - Measure for Measure (Vincentio, the Duke at IV, i) [Music] Look, here's the warrant, Claudio, for thy death.

So, bring us to our palace, where we'll show What's yet behind, that's meet you all should know. - Measure for Measure (Vincentio, the Duke at V, i) [Books (Last Lines)] It may be right, but you are i' the wrong To speak before your time; proceed. - Measure for Measure (Vincentio, the Duke at V, i) [Speech] Nay, it is ten times true, for truth is truth To th' end of reck'ning. - Measure for Measure (Isabella at V, i) [Truth] O, your desert speaks loud, and I should wrong it To lock it in the wards of covert bosom, When it deserves with characters of brass A forted residence 'gainst the tooth of time And razure of oblivion. - Measure for Measure (Vincentio, the Duke at V, i) [Time] They say, best men are moulded out of faults. - Measure for Measure (Mariana at V, i) [Proverbs] From the crown of his head to the sole of his foot he is all mirth; he has twice or thrice cut Cupid's bowstring, and the little hangman dare not shoot at him: he hath a heart as sound as a bell, and his tongue is the clapper; for what his heart thinks his tongue speaks. - Much Ado About Nothing [Mirth] There's a skirmish of wit between them. - Much Ado About Nothing [Wit] Displaying page 124 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
