Enjoy the quotation
from Shakespeare
plays
That is a question whether to
live on in this world or to die,
that is, to take action or to do
nothing.
1. To be or not to be; that is the question.
Quotation
A person who has great
responsibilities, such as a king,
is constantly worried and
therefore doesn’t sleep soundly.
2. Uneasy lies the head that wears a crown.
Quotation
It is best not to lend (money) to
others and not to borrow from
others. When we lend something,
we risk losing both the thing and
the friendship.
3. Neither a borrower nor a lender be.
Quotation
4. All the world is a stage, and all the men and women are merely players.
5. Let the end try the man.
6. Love all, trust a few, do wrong to none.
