"Hath not a Jew eyes?" - The Merchant of Venice. I love that entire speech.

I love Shakespeare, but this is one of my favorites
The character of Puck has always been a favorite of mine.Captain of our fairy band,
Helena is here at hand;
And the youth, mistook by me,
Pleading for a lover's fee.
Shall we their fond pageant see?
Lord, what fools these mortals be!
I love Shakespeare! One of my favorites is from Shakespeare's As You Like It:
"The fool doth think he is wise, but the wise man knows himself to be a fool."
Obviously I love that quote, since it shows as my signature.
"The fool doth think he is wise, but the wise man knows himself to be a fool." As You Like It, William Shakespeare
Sometimes I need to remember-
Come what may, time and the hour run through the roughest day.
Lay not that flattering unction to your soul.
England, bound in with the triumphant sea, whose rocky shore beats back the envious siege of watery Neptune, is now bound in with shame, with inky blots, and rotten parchment bonds: That England, that was wont to conquer others, hath made a shameful conquest of itself.
To which I can only add - plus ça change...

"L'art de la statistique est de tirer des conclusions erronèes a partir de chiffres exacts." Napoléon Bonaparte.
"Je crois que beaucoup de gens sont dans cet état d’esprit: au fond, ils ne sentent pas concernés par l’Histoire. Mais pourtant, de temps à autre, l’Histoire pose sa main sur eux." Michel Houellebecq.
My all-time favorite line (I think The Fool says it to Lear): Be of good cheer, sir. Our revels are ended.

Dostoevsky gives me more than any scientist.
Imagination is more important than knowledge. Knowledge is limited. Imagination encircles the world. - Albert Einstein
My favorite is from Hamlet. "This all above: Thin own self be true." (Act I, Scene II).
Ophelia's mad truth: They say the owl was a baker's daughter. Lord, we know what we are, but know not what we may be.
If we shadows have offended,
Know but this and all is mended.
That you have but slumbered here,
While these visions did appear,
And this weak and idle theme,
No more yielding, but a dream.
Midsummer Night's Dream

My favorite one :
“ Doubt thou the stars are fire;
Doubt that the sun doth move;
Doubt truth to be a liar;
But never doubt I love. ”
Hi,
Thank you for sharing such nice quotes!
My favorite one is “It is not in the stars to hold our destiny but in ourselves.” It inspires me to achieve the goal and do not give up, even when I`m disappointed.
I found this one list with Shakespeare`s quotes that can change our life as very motivated ones, but his others expressions are also very excited!
