My opinions may have changed, but not the fact that I'm right.

The fellow who thinks he knows it all is especially annoying to those of us who do.

Too bad all the people who know how to run this country are busy running taxicabs or cutting hair.

The only fool bigger than the person who knows it all is the person who argues with him.

Doubt is not a pleasant condition, but certainty is absurd.

To be absolutely certain about something, one must know everything or nothing about it.

It is better to deserve honors and not have them than to have them and not deserve them.

Please help "translate" these quotes. For example, help me understand what it means by explaining it in "today's English."

1. "All the world's a stage,
And all the men and women are merely players.
They have their exits and entrances,
And one man in his time plays many parts,
His acts being seven ages."

2. "We are such stuff
As dreams are made on and our little life
Is rounded with a sleep..."

3. "Why, then the world's mine oyster,
Which I with sword will open."
understanding
4. "Alas, poor Yorick! I knew him, Horatio;
a fellow of infinite jest, of most excellent fancy."

5. "All that glisters is not gold."

6. "Nothing can come of nothing: speak again."

7. "Though this be madness,
yet there is method in 't"

8. "Cowards die many times before their deaths,
The valiant never taste of death but once."

THANK YOU!!!!
