He hath borne me on his back a thousand times, and now, how abhorred in my imagination it is!”

“It was a lover and his lass,
With a hey, and a ho, and a hey nonino,
That o’er the green corn-field did pass,
In the spring time, the only pretty ring time,
When birds do sing, hey ding a ding, ding;
Sweet lovers love the spring.”
~ As You Like It, 5.3.15-20
Olivia: “What’s a drunken man like, fool?”
Feste: “Like a drowned man, a fool, and a madman:
one draught above heat makes him a fool;
the second mads him; and a third drowns him.”
~ Twelfth Night
“Some are born great, some achieve greatness,
and some have greatness thrust upon them.”
~ Malvolio in Twelfth Night

“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.”
~ Jaques in As You Like It
“This above all: to thine own self be true,
And it must follow, as the night the day,
Thou canst not then be false to any man.”

“This story shall the good man teach his son,
And Crispin Crispian shall ne’er go by,
From this day to the ending of the world,
But we in it shall be rememberèd”
– Henry V
“And, most dear actors, eat no onions or garlic,
for we are to utter sweet breath;
and I do not doubt but to hear them say, it is a sweet comedy.”
~ A Midsummer Night’s Dream: Act 4, Sc 2
Our revels now are ended. These our actors,
As I foretold you, were all spirits and
Are melted into air, into thin air.
And, like the baseless fabric of this vision,
The cloud-capped towers, the gorgeous palaces,
The solemn temples, the great globe itself,
Yea, all which it inherit, shall dissolve,
And like this insubstantial pageant faded,
Leave not a rack behind. We are such stuff
As dreams are made on: and our little life
Is rounded with a sleep.
~ Prospero in The Tempest
Shakespeare wrote 37 Plays!
How many have you read? How many have you seen?

“The fool doth think he is wise, but the wise man knows himself to be a fool.”
~ Touchstone in As You Like It Act 5, scene i

“That skull had a tongue in it, and could sing once…” ~ Hamlet
“Caesar: Who is it in the press that calls on me? I hear a tongue, shriller than all the music, Cry ‘Caesar!’ Speak; Caesar is turn’d to hear.
Soothsayer: Beware the ides of March.”
– Julius Caesar
