Top 10 Shakespeare Quotes

'There Is No Darkness But Ignorance' William Shakespeare

 

The words and quotes of William Shakespeare can often be heard on a daily basis from the radio to television so it’s no wonder that expressions from his works have become such widely spoken pearls of wisdom and ‘anonymous’ parts of the English language. Most of us are totally unaware that many expressions that we use every day originated in Shakespeare’s plays.  Quotations such as “I’ll not budge an inch”, “We have seen better days”, “A dish fit for the gods” along with expressions like  it’s “Greek to me” ironically  used by many frustrated student’s studying Shakespeare’s work! Even politicians dig deep into their pool of Shakespeare express their opinions using quoting; “Fair Play”, “Foregone Conclusion “and “Into Thin Air “.  To celebrate, motivate and inspire Thomas Lyte has chosen its Top 10 Shakespeare Quotes;

There Is No Darkness But Ignorance’.

All that glisters is not gold.

Neither a borrower nor a lender be; For loan oft loses both itself and friend.

Our doubts are traitors, and make us lose the good we oft might win, by fearing to attempt.

They do not love that do not show their love.

How far that little candle throws his beams. So shones a good deed in a weary world.

The course of love never did run smooth.Give thy thoughts no tongue.

Cowards die many times before their deaths: The valiant never taste of death but once.

All the world’s a stage, And all the men and women merely players.

It is not in the stars to hold destiny but in ourselves.
