Study: Quotations from Shakespearian Quotations

Study is like the heaven's glorious sun, That will not be deep search'd with saucy looks; Small have continual plodders ever won, Save base authority, from others' books.— L. L. i. 1.

Why, universal plodding prisons up The nimble spirits in the arteries; As motion, and long-during action, tires The sinewy vigour of the traveller.— L. L. iv. 3.

So study evermore is overshot; While it doth study to have what it would, It doth forget to do the thing it should: And when it hath the thing it hunteth most, 'Tis won, as towns with fire; so won, so lost.— L. L. i. 1.

Biron. What is the end of study? King. Why, that to know, which else we should not know. Biron. Things hid and barr'd, you mean, from common sense? King.-Ay, that is study's god-like recompense.— L.L. i. 1.
