I love long life better than figs. - William Shakespeare, Antony and Cleopatra (Charmian at I, ii) Sweet are the uses of adversity, Which, like the toad, ugly and venomous, Wears yet a precious jewel in his head; And this our life, exempt from human haunt, Finds tongues in trees, books in the running brooks, Sermons in stones, and good in everything. - William Shakespeare, As You Like It (Duke Senior at II, i) All the world's a stage, And all the men and women merely players; They have their exits and their entrances, And one man in this time plays many parts, His acts being seven ages. - William Shakespeare, As You Like It (Jaques at II, vii) All the world's a stage. - William Shakespeare, As You Like It (Jaques at II, vii) 'Tis but an hour ago since it was nine, And after one hour more 'twill be eleven; And so, from hour to hour, we ripe and ripe, And then, from hour to hour, we rot and rot; And thereby hangs a tale. - William Shakespeare, As You Like It (Jaques at II, vii) Why, what should be the fear? I do not set my life at a pin's fee, And for my soul, what can it do to that, Being a thing immortal as itself? - William Shakespeare, Hamlet Prince of Denmark (Hamlet at I, iv) To be, or not to be--that is the question: Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune Or to take arms against a sea of troubles And by opposing end them. To die, to sleep-- No more--and by a sleep to say we end The heartache, and the thousand natural shocks That flesh is heir to. - William Shakespeare, Hamlet Prince of Denmark (Hamlet at III, i) It will be short; the interim is mine, And a man's life 's no more than to say 'one.' - William Shakespeare, Hamlet Prince of Denmark (Hamlet at V, ii) I cannot tell what you and other men Think of this life; but for my single self, I had as lief not be as live to be In awe of such a thing as myself. - William Shakespeare, Julius Caesar (Cassius at I, ii) Nor stony tower, nor walls of beaten brass, Nor airless dungeon, nor strong links of iron, Can be retentive to the strength of spirit; But life, being weary of these worldly bars, Never lacks power to dismiss itself. - William Shakespeare, Julius Caesar (Cassius at I, iii) This day I breathed first.

Renown and grace is dead, The wine of life is drawn, and the mere lees Is left this vault to brag of. - William Shakespeare, Macbeth (Macbeth at II, iii) And I another, So weary with disasters, tugged with fortune, That I would set my life on any chance To mend it or be rid on't. - William Shakespeare, Macbeth (First Murderer at III, i) It is a tale Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, Signifying nothing. - William Shakespeare, Macbeth (Macbeth at V, v) Out, out, brief candle!
