Happy Birthday William Shakespeare

William Shakespeare was born on April 23, 1564.


In honor of his birthday I invite you to leave your favorite quote or play in the comments section.


My favorite play is Hamlet, so it is from there that I draw my quote.


My words fly up, my thoughts remain below

Words without thoughts never to heaven go.


From Act 3, Scene 3.


It reminds me to think before I speak.

One quote? Just one?! My favorite part of Shakespeare is his way with words, that leads to his being so quoteable. :) How's this, from As You Like It: "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." Favorite play? Ummmm. . .
