Those are goodies from a true poet : ) HERE ARE MORE SHAKESPEARE QUOTES I LIKE: "All the world's a stage, And all the men and women merely players.

That which we call a rose By any other word would smell as sweet." --From Romeo and Juliet My favorite Hamlet quote: "My words fly up, my thoughts remain below: Words without thoughts never to heaven go." --From Hamlet
