Additional quotes by William Shakespeare

Men have died from time to time, and worms have eaten them, but not for love.

Not a whit, we defy augury: there's a special
providence in the fall of a sparrow. If it be now,
'tis not to come; if it be not to come, it will be
now; if it be not now, yet it will come: the
readiness is all.

The ides of March are come.
Soothsayer: Ay, Caesar; but not gone.

We, ignorant of ourselves, Beg often our own harms, which the wise powers Deny us for our good; so find we profit By losing of our prayers. - William Shakespeare
