Shakespeare


Many years ago, I visited Shakespeare’s home in Stratford, England. Ever since that day, I’ve been a huge Shakespeare fan. Here are four of my favorite Shakespeare quotes:

            Some are born great, some achieve greatness, and some have greatness thrust upon 'em.
            --Twelfth Night 2.5.149-150

            This above all: to thine own self be true.
            --Hamlet 1.3.84

There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio,
            Than are dreamt of in your philosophy.
            --Hamlet 1.5.187-188

We are such stuff
            As dreams are made on, and our little life
            Is rounded with a sleep.
            --The Tempest 4.1.173-175

Speaking of The Tempest, there was a great movie version of it made in 2010, starring Helen Mirren and Felicity Jones. If you haven’t seen it, it’s well worth the watch.

May all of us find our inner bard.
