Happy Birthday William Shakespeare - It's his 400th.

This is Shakespeare's 400th birthday.

Here are a few of his famous quotes.

This life, which had been the tomb of his virtue and of his honour, is but a walking shadow; a poor player, that struts and frets his hour upon the stage, and then is heard no more: it is a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.

William Shakespeare

Love looks not with the eyes, but with the mind; and therefore is winged Cupid painted blind.
Love all, trust a few, do wrong to none.
We are such stuff as dreams are made on, and our little life is rounded with a sleep.

William Shakespeare

And of course, my favorite.

And see the great Achilles, whom we knew.
Tho' much is taken, much abides; and tho'
We are not now that strength which in old days
Moved earth and heaven, that which we are, we are,--
One equal temper of heroic hearts,
Made weak by time and fate, but strong in will

To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield. 

Alfred Lord Tennyson - Ulysses
