The Wisdom of William Shakespeare 

*** 

Love all, trust a few, do wrong to none.

***

A fool thinks himself to be wise, but a wise man knows himself to be a fool.

***

To thine own self be true, and it must follow, as the night the day, thou canst not then be false to any man.

***

How far that little candle throws its beams! So shines a good deed in a naughty world.
