William Shakespeare(1564 - 1616) An English playwright and poet, widely regarded as the greatest writer in the English language and the world's pre-eminent dramatist. He is often called England's national poet and the "Bard of Avon". His plays have been translated into every major living language and are performed more often than those of any other playwright. 'Tis best to weigh the enemy more mighty than he seems. 'Tis better to bear the ills we have than fly to others that we know not of. 'Tis not enough to help the feeble up, but to support them after. 'Tis one thing to be tempted, another thing to fall. A fool thinks himself to be wise, but a wise man knows himself to be a fool. A man loves the meat in his youth that he cannot endure in his age. A peace is of the nature of a conquest; for then both parties nobly are subdued, and neither party loser. Absence from those we love is self from self - a deadly banishment. Alas, I am a woman friendless, hopeless! 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, his acts being seven ages. |
