Shakespeare - Richard III Quotes, Famous Quotations
Now
is the winter of our discontent
Made glorious summer by this sun of York. Richard III, 1. 1
Grim-visaged
war hath smoothed his wrinkled front;
And now, instead of mounting barbed steeds
To fright the souls of fearful adversaries,
He capers nimbly in a lady's chamber
To the lascivious pleasing of a lute. Richard III, 1. 1
But
I, that am not shaped for sportive tricks,
Nor made to court an amorous looking-glass;
I, that am rudely stamped, and want love's majesty
To strut before a wanton ambling nymph;
I, that am curtailed of this fair proportion,
Cheated of feature by dissembling nature,
Deformed, unfinished, sent before my time
Into this breathing world, scarce half made up,
And that so lamely and unfashionable
That dogs bark at me as I halt by them. Richard III. 1. 1
This
weak piping time of peace. Richard III, 1. 1
And
therefore, since I cannot prove a lover,
To entertain these fair well-spoken days,
I am determined to prove a villain
And hate the idle pleasures of these days. Richard III, 1. 1
No
beast so fierce but knows some touch of pity. Richard III. 1. 2
Was
ever woman in this humour wooed?
Was ever woman in this humour won? Richard III, 1. 2
Cannot
a plain man live and think no harm,
But thus his simple truth must be abused
By silken, sly, insinuating Jacks? Richard III, 1. 3
Since
every Jack became a gentleman
There's many a gentle person made a Jack. Richard III, 1. 3
And
thus I clothe my naked villainy
With old odd ends stolen out of holy writ,
And seem a saint when most I play the devil. Richard III. 1. 3
