莎士比亚经典名句选.doc

A wretched soul, bruised with adversity,We bid be quiet when we hear it cry; But were we burdened with like weight of pain,As much or more we should ourselves complain. Action is eloquence. And since you know you cannot see yourself,so well as by reflection, I, your glass,will modestly discover to yourself,that of yourself which you yet know not of. And thus I clothe my naked villainyWith old odd ends, stoln forth of holy writ;And seem a saint, when most I play the devil. Assume a virtue, if you have it not. Be great in act, as you have been in thought. Blow, blow, thou winter windThou art not so unkind,As mans ingratitude. Winter Conversation should be pleasant without scurrility, witty without affectation, free without indecency, learned without conceitedness, novel without falsehood. For they are yet ear-kissing arguments. Argument Free from gross passion or of mirth or angerconstant in spirit, not swerving with the blood,garnishd and deckd in modest compliment,not working with the eye without the ear,and but in purged judgement trusting neither?Such and so finely bolted didst thou seem. Glory is like a circle in the water,Which never ceaseth to enlarge itself,Till by broad spreading it disperses to naught. Fame God bless thee; and put meekness in thy mind, love, charity, obedience, and true duty! He who has injured thee was either stronger or weaker than thee. If weaker, spare him; if stronger, spare thyself. His life was gentle; and the elementsSo mixed in him, that Nature might stand up,And say to all the world, THIS WAS A MAN! How poor are they who have not patience! What wound did ever heal but by degrees. Patience How use doth breed a habit in a man. I am not bound to please thee with my answers. I did never know so full a voice issue from so empty a heart: but the saying is true The empty vessel makes the greatest sound. I dote on his very absence. I feel within me a peace above all earthly dignities, a still and quiet conscience. I hate ingratitude more in a manthan lying, vainness, babbling, drunkenness,or any taint of vice whose strong corruptioninhabits our frail blood. I must be cruel only to be kind;Thus bad begins, and worse remains behind. I pray thee cease thy counsel,Which falls into mine ears as profitlessas water in a sieve. I pray you bear me henceforth from the noise and rumour of the field, where I may think the remnant of my thoughts in peace, and part of this body and my soul with contemplation and devout desires. I wasted time, and now doth time waste me. I wish you well and so I take my leave,I Pray you know me when we meet again. Ill deeds are doubled with an evil word. Gossip In a false quarrel there is no true valour. In peace theres nothing so becomes a man as modest stillness and humility. Humility In time we hate that which we often fear. It is not enough to help the feeble up, but to support him after. Lady you bereft me of all words,Only my blood speaks to you in my veins,And there is such confusion in my powers. Like as the waves make towards the pebbled shore, So do our minutes hasten to their end. Love looks not with the eyes, but with the mind. Mine honour is my life; both grow in one; take honour from me and my life is done. My words fly up, my thoughts remain below.Words without thoughts never to heaven go. Nothing emboldens sin so much as mercy. Mercy Our bodies are our gardens to which our wills are gardeners. Body Our remedies oft in ourselves do lie. Pity is the virtue of the law, and none but tyrants use it cruelly. Laws Praising what is lost makes the remembrance dear. See first that the design is wise and just: that ascertained, pursue it resolutely; do not for one repulse forego the purpose that you resolved to effect. So may he rest, his faults lie gently on him! Strong reasons make strong actions. Actions Suspicion always haunts the guilty mind. Sweet are the uses of adversity, which, like a toad, though ugly and venomous, wears yet a precious jewel in its head. The peace of heaven is theirs that lift their swords, in such a just and charitable war. Peace The sands are numberd that make up my life. The soul of this man is in his clothes. The trust I have is in mine innocence,and therefore am I bold and resolute. Their understandingBegins to swell and the approaching tideWill shortly fill the reasonable shoresThat now lie foul and muddy. Thou art all the comfort,The Gods will diet me with. Thou shalt be both the plaintiff and the judge of thine own cause. Though I am not naturally honest, I am so sometimes by chance. Honesty Thy words, I grant are bigger, for I wear not, my dagger in my mouth. Virtue and genuine graces in themselves speak what no words can utter. We are advertisd by our loving friends. Friendship We do not keep the outward form of order, where there is deep disorder in the mind. We know what we are, but not what we may be. When griping grief the heart doth wound,and doleful dumps the mind opresses,then music, with her silver sound,with speedy help doth lend redress. Music When we are born, we cry, that we are comeTo this great stage of fools. While thou livest keep a good tongue in thy head. You cram these words into mine ears against the stomach of my sense. For aught that I could ever read,Could ever hear by tale or history,The course of true love never did run smooth. A Midsummer Nights Dream, Act 1 scene 1 Lord, what fools these mortals be! A Midsummer Nights Dream, Act 3 scene 2 Stupidity Love all, trust a few. Do wrong to none. Alls Well That Ends Well, Act 1 Scene 1 Love No legacy is so rich as honesty.

Cymbeline, Act 3 scene 3 I have not slept one wink. Cymbeline, Act 3 scene 4 No, tis slander, Whose edge is sharper than the sword, whose tongue Outvenoms all the worms of Nile, whose breath Rides on the posting winds, and doth belie All corners of the world.

Hamlet, Act 1 scene 2 Men And Women He was a man, take him for all in all, I shall not look upon his like again. Hamlet, Act 1 scene 2 Beware Of entrance to a quarrel; but being in, Beart that the opposed may beware of thee. Give every man thy ear, but few thy voice; Take each mans censure, but reserve thy judgment. Costly thy habit as thy purse can buy, But not expressd in fancy; rich, not gaudy; For the apparel oft proclaims the man. Hamlet, Act 1 scene 3 Neither a borrower nor a lender be; For loan oft loses both itself and friend, And borrowing dulls the edge of husbandry.

Hamlet, Act 2 scene 2 Sanity What a piece of work is a man! how noble in reason! how infinite in faculty! in form and moving how express and admirable! in action how like an angel! in apprehension how like a god!

Hamlet, Act 3 scene 1 I have heard of your paintings too, well enough; God has given you one face, and you make yourselves another. Hamlet, Act 3 scene 1 O, woe is me,To have seen what I have seen, see what I see! Hamlet, Act 3 scene 1 To be, or not to be: that is the question:Whether tis nobler in the mind to suffer The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune, Or to take arms against a sea of troubles, And by opposing end them? To die: to sleep: No more; and by a sleep to say we end The heartache and the thousand natural shocks That flesh is heir to,-t is a consummation Devoutly to be wishd. To die, to sleep; To sleep: perchance to dream: ay, theres the rub: For in that sleep of death what dreams may come, When we have shuffled off this mortal coil, Must give us pause: theres the respect That makes calamity of so long life; For who would bear the whips and scorns of time, The oppressors wrong, the proud mans contumely, The pangs of despised love, the laws delay, The insolence of office and the spurns That patient merit of the unworthy takes, When he himself might his quietus make With a bare bodkin? who would fardels bear, To grunt and sweat under a weary life, But that the dread of something after death, The undiscoverd country from whose bourn No traveller returns, puzzles the will And makes us rather bear those ills we have Than fly to others that we know not of? Thus conscience does make cowards of us all; And thus the native hue of resolution Is sicklied oer with the pale cast of thought, And enterprises of great pith and moment With this regard their currents turn awry, And lose the name of action. Hamlet, Act 3 scene 1 Hamlet: Do you see yonder cloud thats almost in shape of a camel?Polonius: By the mass, and tis like a camel, indeed.Hamlet: Methinks it is like a weasel.

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 ladys chamber, and tell her, let her paint an inch thick, to this favour she must come.

Julius Caesar, Act 1 scene 2 Cowards die many times before their deaths; The valiant never taste of death but once.
