Quotes by William Shakespeare
“Left fame, that all hunt after in their lives, Live register’d upon our brazen tombs, And then grace us in the disgrace of death; When, spite of cormorant devouring Time, The endeavour of this present breath may buy, That honour which shall bate his scythe’s keen edge, And make us heirs of all eternity. Be not afraid of greatness: some are born great, some achieve greatness, and some have greatness thrust upon them. Rightly to be great, Is not to stir without great argument, But greatly to find quarrel in a straw, When honour’s at the stake. The soul and body rive not more in parting, Than greatness going off. Farewell! a long farewell to all my greatness! This is the state of man: today he puts forth, The tender leaves of hopes; tomorrow blossoms, And bears his blushing honours thick upon him; The third day comes a frost, a killing frost, And, when he thinks, good easy man, full surely, His greatness is a-ripening, nips his root, And then he falls, as I do”.
