Shakespeare was famous for his many famous plays. Which envolved many of his famous quotes, many of which are known today.Some of them are:Necessity's sharp pinch!, Service is no heritage, Frailty, thy name is woman!, Fair is foul, and foul is fair. It makes us or it mars us, I am dying, Egypt, dying, Forty thousand brothers, Could not, with all their quantity of love, Make up my sum, Saint-seducing gold, To be, or not to be: that is the question, Love all, trust a few, do wrong to none, Good night, good night! Parting is such sweet sorrow, Be not afraid of greatness. Some are born great, some achieve greatness, and some have greatness thrust upon 'em,There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio, than are dreamt of in your philosophy, If you can look into the seeds of time, and say which grain will grow and which will not, speak then to me, Love sought is good, but given unsought is better. If I lose mine honour, I lose myself. It's not enough to speak, but to speak true. "O Romeo, Romeo! wherefore art thou Romeo?Deny thy father and refuse thy name.Or if thou wilt not, be but sworn my love And I'll no longer be a Capulet.// @http://quotations.about.com/od/shakespearequotes/a/shakespeare4.htm

The language was a lot more formal back then and for the everyday person now it is hard to understand what they had said or written,but some of the sayings and terms are still beng used today. //
