Favourite/ most used Shakespeare quote

[TwoManyKids]

Feeling a bit mopey after checking the bank balance-need to do something to cheer myself up!
What is your favourite quote from the bard?
My favourite is "To be an idiot full of sound and fury" but my most used is probably "One woe doth tread upon another's heel"

Often said in our house - from Lear "Poor Tom's a-cold".

This week I think I'll go with "The rain it raineth every day".

Tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow...

As flies to wanton boys are we to the Gods, they kill us for their sport (King Lear)

Eternity was in our lips and eyes,
Bliss in our brow’s bent

• Cleopatra, Antony and Cleopatra.

Swoon.

More of your conversation would infect my brain

His knell is knolled.

I often walk around the house and greet my teenage children with ‘do you bite your thumb at me sir’. I do both sides of the conversation and they eyeroll but they smile.

My favourite is Lady Macbeth and her ‘too full of the milk of human kindness’ soliloquy, but I haven’t managed to appropriately incorporate that into daily life.

How sharper than a serpent's tooth it is to have a thankless child.
Been using that one for years 😔

Have we no wine here? - from Corialanus.
Said after a long work day

"I pray you, sir, what saucy merchant was this, that was so full of his ropery?"

Was saucy merchant Bard-speak for a CF?!

Out damn spot, out I say!

Generally as the kids have white school shirts and seem to eat tomato based something every day. Never bloody comes off!

There are quite a few people that I would happily see exit pursued by bears, but sadly it never happens.

Just coming on to say this one.

Used a LOT in our house.

And by my mother....

What's this one from? Don't think I'm familiar

Civil as an orange!

Here's one for you @TwoManyKids
"Neither a borrower nor a lender be". Sound advice from Polonius!

The Scottish play is often quoted here, at the moment this is extremely apt.
"When shall we three meet again? In thunder, lightning or in rain."

In times of financial need - "I know a bank" - Twelfth Night

"What a lack-brain is this" ?! - Henry IV Part 1

Yes, corian, a favourite in our house as kids snigger at me. Also, 'he who steals my purse, steals trash'.

‘The lady doth protest too much, methinks.’

Very apt for MN…

Have we no wine? // to thine own self be true

depending on situation

It comes from Act 1, Scene 4 of King Lear

Thanks. Its a really good one!

More King Lear:
“ O, reason not the need! Our basest beggars Are in the poorest thing superfluous.”

“There is method in (my) madness.”
Usually to the kids at a wait-and-see but leave-me-in-peace moment.
