King John Quotes
King John
William Shakespeare (Author of King John)

“A sceptre snatched with an unruly hand
Must be boisterously maintained as gained,
And he that stands upon a slippery place
Makes nice of no vile hold to stay him up;
That John may stand then, Arthur needs must fall;
So be it, for it cannot be but so.” (King John Quotes)

William Shakespeare
King John

“And oftentimes excusing of a fault
Doth make the fault the worse by the excuse,
As patches set upon a little breach
Discredit more in hiding of the fault
Than did the fault before it was so patched.”

William Shakespeare
King John

“Be great in act, as you have been in thought.”

William Shakespeare
King John

“Grief fills the room up of my absent child,
Lies in his bed, walks up and down with me,
Puts on his pretty look, repeats his words,
Remembers me of his gracious parts,
Stuffs out his vacant garments with his form”

William Shakespeare
King John

“He is the half part of a blessed man,
Left to be finished by such as she;
And she a fair divided excellence,
Whose fullness of perfection lies in him. ”

William Shakespeare
King John

“Here have we war for war, and blood for blood,
Controlment for controlment: so answer France.”

William Shakespeare
King John

 “O, let us pay the time but needful woe,
Since it hath been beforehand with our griefs.
This England never did, nor never shall,
Lie at the proud foot of a conqueror
But when it first did help to wound itself.
Now these her princes are come home again,
Come the three corners of the world in arms,
And we shall shock them. Nought shall make us rue
If England to itself do rest but true.”

William Shakespeare
King John

“There’s nothing in this world can make me joy.
Life is as tedious as a twice-told tale
Vexing the dull ear of a drowsy man;
And bitter shame hath spoiled the sweet world’s taste,
That it yields nought but shame and bitterness.”

William Shakespeare
King John
