Hamlet quotes

SpeakerQuote
Hamlet A little more than kin and less than kind.
Gertrude Good Hamlet, cast thy nighted colour off, And let thine eye look like a friend on Denmark
Hamlet Seems, madam! Nay, it is. I know not "seems."
Hamlet O, that this too too solid flesh would melt Thaw and resolve itself into a dew! Or that the Everlasting had not fix'd His canon 'gainst self-slaughter! O God! God! How weary, stale, flat and unprofitable, Seem to me all the uses of this world!
Hamlet Frailty, thy name is woman!
Hamlet Thrift, thrift, Horatio! The funeral baked meats Did coldly furnish forth the marriage tables.
Polonius Neither a borrower nor a lender be, For loan oft loses both itself and friend And borrowing dulls the edge of husbandry. This above all: To thine own self be true, And it must follow, as the night the day, Thou canst not then be false to any man.
Marcellus Something is rotten in the state of Denmark.
Ghost Revenge his foul and most unnatural murder.
Hamlet My uncle! Aye, that incestuous, that adulterate beast.
Ghost Taint not thy mind, nor let thy soul contrive Against thy mother aught. Leave her to Heaven And to those thorns that in her bosom lodge To prick and sting her.
Hamlet The time is out of joint. Oh, cursed spite That ever I was born to set it right!
Polonius What majesty should be, what duty is, Why day is day, night night, and time is time, Were nothing but to waste night, day, and time. Therefore, since brevity is the soul of wit And tediousness the limbs and outward flourishes, I will be brief.
Polonius Though this be madness, yet there is method in't.
Hamlet Why, then 'tis none to you, for there is nothing either good or bad but thinking makes it so.
Hamlet 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! The beauty of the world! The paragon of animals!
Hamlet The play's the thing Wherein I'll catch the conscience of the King.
Claudius Madness in great ones must not unwatched go.
Hamlet Suit the action to the word, the word to the action, with this special observance, that you o'erstep not the modesty of nature.
Gertrude The lady doth protest too much, methinks.
Hamlet O good Horatio, I'll take the ghost's word for a thousand pound.
Hamlet O heart, lose not thy nature, let not ever The soul of Nero enter this firm bosom. Let me be cruel, not unnatural. I will speak daggers to her, but use none.
Claudius My words fly up, my thoughts remain below. Words without thoughts never to Heaven go.
Hamlet Oh, shame! Where is thy blush?
Gertrude O Hamlet, speak no more. Thou turn'st mine eyes into my very soul, And there I see such black and grained spots As will not leave their tinct.
Hamlet I must be cruel only to be kind.
Hamlet What is a man If his chief good and market of his time Be but to sleep and feed? A beast, no more.
Hamlet Oh, from this time forth My thoughts be bloody or be nothing worth.
Hamlet Alas, poor Yorick! I knew him, Horatio.
Gertrude Sweets to the sweet.
Hamlet There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio, Than are dreamt of in your philosophy.
Hamlet The cat will mew and dog will have his day.
Laertes I am justly killed with mine own treachery.
Gertrude The drink, the drink! I am poisoned.
Laertes The King, the King's to blame.
Horatio I am more an antique Roman than a Dane, Here’s yet some liquor left.
Horatio Now cracks a noble heart. Good night sweet prince, And flights of angels sing thee to thy rest.
Fortinbras For me, with sorrow I embrace my fortune. I have some rights of memory in this kingdom, Which now to claim my vantage doth invite me.
Fortinbras Let four captains Bear Hamlet like a soldier from the stage, for he was likely, had he been put on, To have proved most royal….
