William Shakespeare on Oaths
← Back to William Shakespeare Profile
“Or, having sworn too hard a keeping oath, Study to break it and not break my troth.”
“'Tis not the many oaths that makes the truth, But the plain single vow that is vow'd true.”
“Trust none; For oaths are straws, men's faiths are wafer-cakes, And hold-fast is the only dog.”
“An oath, an oath, I have an oath in heaven: Shall I lay perjury upon my soul? No, not for Venice.”
