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"

Not sure it’s my favourite, but I often find myself saying, ‘That way lies madness.’ It lends itself to a lot of situations!

I love the language in Macbeth, especially the ‘Double, double, toil and trouble’ speech.

and the Merchant of Venice scene of the choosing of the casket: ‘Who chooseth me must give and hazard all he hath’ has always seemed to me wildly romantic.

Oh, and DP was once queuing for the loos in the theatre and a fellow queuer made quite a witty comment along the lines of ’Stand not upon the order of your peeing’ 😄

Am loving all these quotes!

She sat like patience on a monument, smiling at grief.
(Twelfth Night)

Sleep that knits up the raveled sleave of care,
The death of each day's life, sore labor's bath,
Balm of hurt minds…
(Macbeth)

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

He's just such a dad.

Also a exiting bear fan, but a tenuous link
"Let's BooBoo".

I like that though; it adds to the charm. People are using Shakespeare's language that relates to their everyday life, without the need to look up the word-perfect quote in their books from uni or A levels. 😀

He is, bless him. He didn't deserve his fate 😥

"She is but little but she is fierce".

We always used to say "Here's a knocking indeed."

And then my parents got a Ring doorbell, so they don't anymore!

I use this one - I think it is an amazing quote

😁
"Exit pursued by Yogi Bear"

Call you me fair, that fair again say.
And
Well shone moon.

Both from midsummer's night dream.

"Lord, what fools these mortals be!"

Evergreen.

“you should be women, and yet your beards forbid me to interpret that you are so” - Macbeth, seems quite topical these days.

Also like “I would challenge you to a battle of wits, but I see you are unarmed.”

Sorry @Yusay but your second quotation is definitely not Shakespeare!

Sometimes I wonder who are these people and questions do I know anyone like this

HRTQueen thinks out loud

I say to Mr Zeppo:

”come, I will have thee. But by this light I take thee for pity’ 😂

On a serious note, Mercutio in Romeo and Juliet. "A plague, a plague on both your houses!"

Rage and despair in a few words.

"Wake Duncan with thy knocking?" From an ex-colleague who bellowed it when pupils knocked at the door at lunchtime.

And my own: "lord, what fools these mortals be".

Get thee to a nunnery

That sounds more like Blackadder to me - second or third one I'd reckon

Isn't that Blackadder?

I come to bury Caesar, not to praise him

Let me have men about me that are fat, sleek-headed men and such as sleep a-nights, yond Cassius has a lean and hungry look. He thinks to much. Such men are dangerous.

Me too!
