What is your favourite Shakespeare quote?

The fool doth think he is wise, but the wise man knows himself to be a fool.
As You Like It

To thine own self be true

What is a man if his chief good and market of his time
Be but to sleep and feed?
Hamlet

A quote that was very appropriate when my son was a teenager.

Yes!! it always gets a huge laugh, doesn't it?!!!

The first thing we do let's kill all the lawyers.

I had forgotten that, but it was a competition, so perhaps this time we will hear from regular members as opposed to regular members plus those angling for a prize

What’s in a name? A rose by any name would smell as sweet.

(Romeo and Juliet)

I was about 13 , doing Shakespeare in English Literature at school and was taken to see Romeo and Juliet. It totally brought alive the story for me and I loved this quote from it.

Always a nice topic, (and thankfully my memory isn't failing me), but there was a big discussion on here about this a few years back related to a book launch:

Lots of new members since then though ...

And mine hasn't changed:

Full fathom five thy father lies
Of his bones are coral made
Those are pearls that were his eyes.
Nothing of him doth fade
But doth suffer a sea change
Into something rich and strange.
