Shakespeare love poems

William ShakespeareBut love is blind and lovers cannot see The pretty follies that themselves commit; For if they could, Cupid himself would blush To see me thus transformed to a boy.
William ShakespeareLove looks not with the eyes, but with the mind; And therefore is winged Cupid painted blind.
William ShakespeareLove is a smoke made with the fume of sighs, Being purged, a fire sparkling in lovers’ eyes, Being vexed, a sea nourished with lovers’ tears. What is it else? A madness most discreet, A choking gall and a preserving sweet.

William ShakespeareLove is a gross exaggeration of the difference between one person and everyone else.
William ShakespeareThis bud of love, by summer's ripening breath, May prove a beauteous flower when next we meet.

William ShakespeareIn peace there's nothing so becomes a man
As modest stillness and humility;
But when the blast of war blows in our ears,
Then imitate the action of the tiger:
Stiffen the sinews, summon up the blood.

William ShakespeareThe fault, dear Brutus, lies not in our stars, but in ourselves if we are underlings.

William ShakespeareTo be a well-flavored man is the gift of fortune, but to write or read comes by nature.
William ShakespeareSilence is the perfectest herald of joy: I were but little happy, if I could say how much.
William ShakespeareO, now, for ever Farewell the tranquil mind! farewell content! Farewell the plumed troop and the big wars That make ambition virtue! O, farewell! Farewell the neighing steed and the shrill trump, The spirit-stirring drum, the ear-piercing fife, The royal banner, and all quality, Pride, pomp, and circumstance of glorious war! And, O you mortal engines, whose rude throats The immortal Jove's dread clamours counterfeit, Farewell! Othello's occupation's gone!

William ShakespeareI, thus neglecting worldly ends, all dedicated To closeness and the bettering of my mind.
William ShakespeareAlas, poor Yorick! I knew him, Horatio: a fellow of infinite jest, of most excellent fancy. He hath borne me on his back a thousand times; and now, how abhorred in my imagination it is! my gorge rises at it. Here hung those lips that I have kissed I know not how oft. Where be your gibes now; your gambols, your songs? your flashes of merriment, that were wont to set the table on a roar? Not one now, to mock your own grinning? Quite chap-fallen? Now get you to my lady's chamber, and tell her, let her paint an inch thick, to this favour she must come.

William ShakespeareCowards die many times before their deaths; The valiant never taste of death but once.
