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"

The lady doth protest too much
T'wouldst thou leave me so unsatisfied?
Be bloody, bold and resolute!

(Hamlet) - 'My tables...meet it I set it down that one my smile and smile and be a villain.'

Hamlet is one big quote-fest from beginning to end, from ‘’Tis bitter cold and I am sick at heart’ to ‘Such a scene as this becomes the field, but here shows much amiss.’

(Yes, I read it for A-level. 😂)

Forgot this one:

O, what may man within him hide,
Though angel on the outward side!

"When shall we three meet again?”
Macbeth - William Shakespeare

“Well, I can do next Tuesday."
Wyrd Sisters - Sir Terry Pratchett

Julius Caesar is the other one

Wasn' it Dorothy Parker who said that? Or was it her favourite quote from Shakespeare?

Pulled up for misquoting on mumsnet - what fresh hell is this?

Used it last week after a very expensive teenage half term trip to London!

'All men are fools and what makes them so is having great beauty like wot I have got'
Glenda Jackson courtesy of Morecambe and Wise.

"And though she be but little, she is fierce."

Used regularly in relation to my very petite but feisty dd. She even has a bangle with this inscribed.

I had been saying this for years, so it did make me chuckle when she auditioned for MSND and got cast as Hermia. Fitting indeed!

I'm afraid I like misusing quotes... I won an MN mug for a contribution to a 'Shakespeare on mn' competition many years ago. Something like

'Tell me where is fancy bred' ... 'aisle 8 beyond the sliced white'
2b or not 2b? Can someone explain these SATs scores to me? (Do they still have those scores? )

Nowadays, 'full of sound and fury signifying nothing' is often applied to small barky dogs.
This is mine, but because we have a pet called Spots who's always somewhere he shouldn't be... I used to say that to my dogs, despite them not being called spot. Similar with 'lead on, McDuff' when it was time for a walk.

I'm easily entertained.

There is nothing either good or bad, but thinking makes it so.

Another of my favourites.

Another family who say 'full of sound and fury, signifying nothing' on a regular basis.

And also 'he thinks too much, such men are dangerous' - said to dc when they come out with something clever.

I used to use the line that comes before, Catherine... "He has a lean and hungry look" - when DS was about to hit hangry and stroppy.
