William Shakespeare

Alas! certainty dare not come to unveil

His life genuine.

The Man universal abides in mystery's

Stupendous ruin.

But the huge oblivion sadly fails to fell

His action-tree.

The ocean-pride of English souls ever

In him we see.

Quotes by Shakespeare

 "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,
And by opposing end them?"

From: Hamlet

~

"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."

--From As You Like It (II, vii, 139-143)

~

"If music be the food of love, play on;
Give me excess of it, that, surfeiting,
The appetite may sicken, and so die."

--From Twelfth Night (I, i,1-3)

~

"To sleep, perchance to dream-
ay, there's the rub."

--From Hamlet (III, i, 65-68)
