Hast thou a favourite quote by the bard Shakespeare?

'Hear my soul speak:
The very instant that I saw you, did
My heart fly to your service'

The Tempest

"Neither a borrower nor a lender be" - sound advice!

"Out, damn spot" spoken to my adolescent self in the mirror.

"Thereby hangs a tale/ tail" (Iago). According to our rather potty-minded teacher, it's a play on words alluding to a part of a gentleman's anatomy.

'Did my heart love till now? forswear it, sight! For I ne'er saw true beauty till this night.' from Romeo & Juliet <3 xx

Love all, trust a few, do wrong to none.” All's Well That Ends Well.

Really nice quote for everyone to follow.

'Friends, Romans Countrymen,lend me your ears' - we studied Julius Caesar for O' level English Literature and had such a good teacher he brought it alive; and 'et tu Brute'.

I rather like : Yon ribrauded nag of Egypt whom leprosy oe'rtake (Ant and Cleo) or
Daffodils that come before the swallow dares
And take the winds of beauty, (Winter's Tale)

Sublime to the ridiculous.

I know a bank where the wild thyme blows,
Where oxlips and the nodding violet grows,
Quite overcanopied with luscious woodbine,
With sweet musk-roses, and with eglantine

I love The Tempest

"O wonder !
How many goodly creatures are there here !
How beauteous mankind is ! O brave new world,
That has such people in it "

Think already posted by Grannyactivist , never mind !
It is our mantra when we do our travelling !

Love all, trust a few, do wrong to none from All's Well That Ends Well.

Sans teeth, sans taste, sans everything.

If music be the food of love, play on.

Gently melancholy song from Cymbeline:

Fear no more the heat o' the sun;
Nor the furious winter's rages,
Thou thy worldly task hast done,
Home art gone, and ta'en thy wages;
Golden lads and girls all must,
As chimney sweepers come to dust.

The rest of the song is worth reading too.

Good old Will, still unsurpassed!

"Cowards die many times before their deaths; the valiant never taste of death but once".
Julius Caesar

And I love Othello's phrase "smooth as monumental alabaster". It feels so good to say, even though the context is murderous.
(Daftly, I took Othello to the hospital as reading matter when I went in to have my first-born 38 years ago. What was I thinking!)

She loved me for the dangers I had pass'd,
And I loved her that she did pity them.

Othello 1.iii

Has to be "A Plague on both your houses" Mercutio in Romeo & Juliet

"This above all: to thine own self be true..." pity it was said by "tedious old fool" Polonius but I like the basic message :-)

"The more I give to thee, the more I have, for both are infinite".
Romeo and Juliet.

The fault, dear Brutus, is not in the stars but in ourselves that we are underlings.

Why is it Shakespeare week next week?
I thought he was born and died on his birthday, April 23rd.

"Et tu, Brute?" - but only because my brother answered a question in his English A level 'Discuss the stoicism of Brutus'- then came home and asked me what stoicism meant...... He scraped a pass.

"To thine own self be true"

Hamlet

Or just a new daft poster...?

Is this a new 'Daft' game?
