Top 10 William Shakespeare quotes about life and love


 


Who has not heard of William Shakespeare. Everyone at school has read his plays as part of their school curriculum. He was pure literary genius. He was able to use words in a way in which showed his great talent. He even invented words some of which include dwindle, monumental, sanctimonious, castigate and frugal. Some of phrases used in his plays are used a lot in day to day spoken English and many people don’t even know about it. Some of which include A wild goose chase (Romeo and Juliet), The be-all and the end-all (Macbeth), All that glisters is not gold (The Merchant of Venice), In my heart of hearts (Hamlet), It’s Greek to me (Julius Caesar) and A heart of gold (Henry V).

 I have always liked William Shakespeare plays and some his quotes. Here’s a list of the top 10 William Shakespeare quotes about life and love.

1. 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. (As You Like It, Act II, Scene VII)

2. Love will not be spurred to what it loathes (The Two Gentlemen of Verona, Act 5, Scene 2)

3. My bounty is as boundless as the sea, My love as deep. The more I give to thee, the more I have, for both are infinite. (Romeo and Juliet, Act 2, scene 2)

4. To be, or not to be: that is the question: Whether ’tis nobler in the mind to suffer the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune, or to take arms against a sea of troubles, and by opposing end them. To die: to sleep. (Hamlet, Act III, Scene I)

5. Cowards die many times before their deaths; The valiant never taste of death but once. (Julius Caesar, Act II, Scene II)

6. Men at some time are masters of their fates: The fault, dear Brutus, is not in our stars, but in ourselves, that we are underlings. (Julius Caesar, Act I, Scene II)

7. Be not afraid of greatness: twas well writ. Some are born great, some achieve greatness, and some have greatness thrust upon them. (Twelfth Night: Act II, scene 4)

8. Love looks not with the eyes, but with the mind, and therefore is winged Cupid painted blind. (A Midsummer Night’s Dream, Act 1, scene 1)

9. My bounty is as boundless as the sea, my love as deep. The more I give to thee, the more I have, for both are infinite. (Romeo and Juliet, Act 2, scene 2).

10. The web of our life is of a mingled yarn, good and ill together. All's Well That Ends Well. (Act 4, Scene 3)
