Shakespeare's birthday is right around the corner and what
better way to celebrate the birth of this literary genius
than with some thought-provoking and soul-stirring
Shakespeare quotes? For all of you Shakespeare fans out
there, these 14 quotes from some of his most famous works
go out to you...
1. "What's in a name? That which we call a rose by any
other name would smell as sweet."
2. "All the world's a stage, and all the men and women
merely players. They have their exits and their entrances,
and one man in his time plays many parts, his acts being
seven ages."
3. "To be, or not to be, that is the question. Whether 'tis
nobler in the mind to suffer the slings and arrows of
outrageous fortune,or to take arms against a sea of
troubles."
4. "What a piece of work is a man! How noble in reason, how
infinite in faculties, in form and moving how express and
admirable. In action, how like an angel, in apprehension
how like a god!"
5. "Alas, poor Yorick! I knew him, Horatio, a fellow of
infinite jest, of most excellent fancy. He hath bore me on
his back a thousand times, and now how abhorr'd in my
imagination it is! My gorge rises at it."
6. "Cowards die many times before their deaths. The valiant
never taste of death but once."
7. "My words fly up, my thoughts remain below. Words
without thoughts never to heaven go."
8. "Why then the world's mine oyster, which I with sword
will open."
9. "All that glisters is not gold, often have you heard
that told. Many a man his life hath sold, but my outside to
behold gilded tombs do worms enfold."
10. "The fault, dear Brutus, is not in our stars, but in
ourselves, that we are underlings."
11. "The course of true love never did run smooth."
12. "Friends, Romans, countrymen, lend me your ears! I come
to bury Caesar, not to praise him. The evil that men do
lives after them, the good is oft interred with their bones
-- so let it be with Caesar."
13. "There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio,
than are dreamt of in your philosophy."
14. "Oft expectation fails, and most oft there where most
it promises; and oft it hits here hope is coldest, and
despair most fits."
It takes a cultured and educated individual to appreciate
the works of Shakespeare. As we celebrate the anniversary
of his birth this month, let these 14 Shakespeare quotes
serve as a remembrance of how brilliant his works and his
imagination really were.
