Shakespeare quotes on wiseTo be young again, if we could, I will be a fool in question, hoping to be the wiser by your answer Look you, the worm is not to be trusted but in the keeping of wise people; for indeed there is Source: THE TRAGEDY OF ANTONY AND CLEOPATRA It is my only suit, Provided that you weed your better judgments Of all opinion that grows rank in them That I am wise Most shallow man! thou worm's meat in respect of a good piece of flesh indeed! Learn of the wise, and perpend My liege, I am advised what I say; Neither disturbed with the effect of wine, Nor heady-rash, provok'd with raging ire, Albeit my wrongs might make one wiser mad For that, being one o' th' lowest, basest, poorest, Of this most wise rebellion, thou goest foremost Well, thus we play the fools with the time, and the spirits of the wise sit in the clouds and mock us You shall be as a father to my youth; My voice shall sound as you do prompt mine ear; And I will stoop and humble my intents To your well-practis'd wise directions He hath intent his wonted followers Shall all be very well provided for; But all are banish'd till their conversations Appear more wise and modest to the world See you, my princes and my noble peers, These English monsters! My Lord of Cambridge here- You know how apt our love was to accord To furnish him with an appertinents Belonging to his honour; and this man Hath, for a few light crowns, lightly conspir'd, And sworn unto the practices of France To kill us here in Hampton; to the which This knight, no less for bounty bound to us Than Cambridge is, hath likewise sworn if you would take the pains but to examine the wars of Pompey the Great, you shall find, I warrant Source: THE LIFE OF KING HENRY THE FIFTH Ay, he said so, to make us fight cheerfully; but when our throats are cut he may be ransom'd, and we ne'er the wiser O no, he lives, but is took prisoner, And Lord Scales with him, and Lord Hungerford; Most of the rest slaughter'd or took likewise Only this proof I'll of thy valour make In single combat thou shalt buckle with me; And if thou vanquishest, thy words are true; Otherwise I renounce all confidence Between two hawks, which flies the higher pitch; Between two dogs, which hath the deeper mouth; Between two blades, which bears the better temper; Between two horses, which doth bear him best; Between two girls, which hath the merriest eye I have perhaps some shallow spirit of judgment; But in these nice sharp quillets of the law, Good faith, I am no wiser than a daw Look to it, lords; let not his smoothing words Bewitch your hearts; be wise and circumspect What is my name? Whither am I going? Where do I dwell? Am I a married man or a bachelor? Then, to answer every man directly and briefly, wisely and truly O, yes, and soundless too, For you have stol'n their buzzing, Antony, And very wisely threat before you sting Good nuncle, in, and ask thy daughters blessing! Here's a night pities nether wise men nor fools Fair gentle sweet, Your wit makes wise things foolish; when we greet, With eyes best seeing, heaven's fiery eye, By light we lose light; your capacity Is of that nature that to your huge store Wise things seem foolish and rich things but poor Therefore, ladies, Our love being yours, the error that love makes Is likewise yours They shall stand for seed; they had gone down too, but that a wise burgher put in for them Might you dispense with your leisure, I would by and by have some speech with you; the satisfaction I would require is likewise your own benefit Thus ornament is but the guiled shore To a most dangerous sea; the beauteous scarf Veiling an Indian beauty; in a word, The seeming truth which cunning times put on To entrap the wisest I am sworn of the peace; you have show'd yourself a wise physician, and Sir Hugh hath shown himself a wise and patient churchman There's none so foul and foolish thereunto, But does foul pranks which fair and wise ones do Worthy Montano, you were wont be civil; The gravity and stillness of your youth The world hath noted, and your name is great In mouths of wisest censure Let it sound no more; For though it have holp madmen to their wits, In me it seems it will make wise men mad O, swear not by the moon, th' inconstant moon, That monthly changes in her circled orb, Lest that thy love prove likewise variable I'll in to counsel them; haply my presence May well abate the over-merry spleen, Which otherwise would grow into extremes Besides the applause and approbation The which, [To AGAMEMNON] most mighty, for thy place and sway, [To NESTOR] And, thou most reverend, for thy stretch'd-out life, I give to both your speeches- which were such As Agamemnon and the hand of Greece Should hold up high in brass; and such again As venerable Nestor, hatch'd in silver, Should with a bond of air, strong as the axle-tree On which heaven rides, knit all the Greekish ears To his experienc'd tongue-yet let it please both, Thou great, and wise, to hear Ulysses speak Wit, an't be thy will, put me into good fooling! Those wits that think they have thee do very oft prove fools; and I that am sure I lack thee may pass for a wise man Trip no further, pretty sweeting; Journeys end in lovers meeting, Every wise man's son doth know This is a practice As full of labour as a wise man's art; For folly that he wisely shows is fit; But wise men, folly-fall'n, quite taint their wit Love is your master, for he masters you; And he that is so yoked by a fool, Methinks, should not be chronicled for wise To Milan let me hear from thee by letters Of thy success in love, and what news else Betideth here in absence of thy friend; And I likewise will visit thee with mine O Eglamour, thou art a gentleman- Think not I flatter, for I swear I do not- Valiant, wise, remorseful, well accomplish'd In your affairs, my lord, If ever I were wilfull-negligent, It was my folly; if industriously I play'd the fool, it was my negligence, Not weighing well the end; if ever fearful To do a thing where I the issue doubted, Whereof the execution did cry out Against the non-performance, 'twas a fear Which oft infects the wisest My father nam'd me Autolycus; who, being, I as am, litter'd under Mercury, was likewise a snapper-up of unconsidered trifles Quotes for: Shakespeare Quotes
