I like parables and wisdom sayings and often like to quote them as I have often found them to be true!


▪︎To be, or not to be: that is the question" from Hamlet,

▪︎ "All the world's a stage" from As You Like It, 
▪︎ "The course of true love never did run smooth" from A Midsummer Night's Dream,

 
▪︎"To thine own self be true" from Hamlet. Other well-known lines are;

 "Neither a borrower nor a lender be".
• All the world's a stage…” ...

• “To thine own self be true.” ...

• “The better part of Valour is Discretion.” ...

• “Some are born great, some achieve greatness, and some have greatness thrust upon them.” ...

• “Cowards die many times before their deaths…” ...

• “What's in a name?
A rose by any other name would smell as sweet"
