| William Shakespeare |
Il 23 Aprile 2016 si celebrano i 400 anni dalla morte di
William Shakespeare, uno degli autori più celebri al mondo. Oltre alle celebri opere prodotte durante la sua vita, il poeta è famoso anche per le sue
quotes, o meglio citazioni, tutt'ora in uso; tra le più celebri (e più amate dagli inglesi)
dead as a doornail che trovate nell'articolo al
link.
Per celebrare questa importante ricorrenza, vi proponiamo 23 delle quotes più celebri e vi invitiamo a visitare il sito internet Shakespeare 400 per scoprire tutte le attività e le celebrazioni in onore del Bard of Avon:
We know what we are, but know not what we may be
Love all, trust a few, do wrong to none
Better three hours too soon, than a minute too late
If music be the food of love, play on
It is not in the stars to hold our destiny, but in ourselves

A fool thinks himself to be wise, but a wise man knows himself to be a fool
Better a witty fool than a foolish wit
Some are born great, some achieve greatness, and some ha greatness thrust upon them
The course of true love never did run smooth
Hell is empty and all the devils are here
No legacy is so rich as honesty
God has given you one face, and you make yourself another
Brevity is the soul of wit
There is no darkness but ignorance
Suspicion always haunts guilty mind
Love is a smoke made with the smoke of sighs
Some rise by sin and some by virtue fall
Cowards die many times before their deaths, the valiant never taste of death but once
I must be cruel, only to be kind
It is a wise father that knows his own child
Love is too young to know what conscience is
Virtue is bold and goodness never fearful
Love sought is good, but given unsought is better
