There are many quotes I really love, but here are some which hold a lot of meaning:
"Life's but a walking shadow,a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more;it is a tale
Told by an idiot,full of sound and fury,
Signifying" (Macbeth,Shakespeare)-this shows that in this world,we are all only actors with a part to play
.Here are some of my favourite quotes from Shakespeare:
-'What's in a name?That which we a rose would
Smell sweet under any other name'(Romeo and Juliet)
-'If music be the food of love,play on...'(12th Night)
-'Praising what is lost,
Makes the remembrance dear'( All's well that ends well)
-'Age cannot wither her, nor custom stale
Her infinite variety'(Antony and Cleopatra)
-'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?'(Hamlet)
-'Though this be madness,yet there is method in it'(Hamlet)
-'The quality of mercy is not strain'd
It droppeth as the gentle rain from Heaven
Upon the place beneath...'(The Merchant of Venice)
-'Friends, Romans, countrymen, lend me your ears!
I come to bury Caesar, not to praise him.'(Julius Ceasar)
-'We are such stuff
As dreams are made on and our little life
Is rounded with a sleep...'(The Tempest)
-'Lord, what fools these mortals be!'(A Midsummer Night's Dream)
-'And thereby hangs a tale'(The Taming of the Shrew)
-'O beware,my lord,of jealousy;
It is the green-ey'd monster...'(Othello)
-'I am a man
More sinned against than sinning'( King Lear)
-'O!while you live,tell truth and shame the devil'(Henry 4 part 1)
-'Uneasy lies the head that wears a crown'(Henry 4,part 2)
-'Well said:that was laid on with a trowel'(As you like it)
-'Cowards die many times before their deaths,
The valiant never taste of death but once.'(Julius Caesar)
"'Beauty is Truth,truth beauty'-that is all
Ye know on earth and all ye need to know"
(Ode on a Grecian Urn,John Keats)
"A thing of beauty is a joy for ever"
(Endymion-A Poetic Romance,John Keats)-the only thing we really appreciate on earth is beauty and its power to move us.The above 2 quotes give the real essence of eternal beauty
"Youth owns,with pleasure owns,the Passions' sway,
But sage Experience only comes with years"
(Quae Nocent Docent,Coleridge)-this only portrays the impulsiveness of youth vs the wisdom of elders.
-'water,water,everywhere and
All the boards did shrink.
Water, water, everywhere,
Nor any drop to drink'(the rime of the Ancient Mariner, Coleridge)
"To me,the meanest flower that blows can give
Thought that do often lie too deep for tears"(Wordsworth)-
one can read the message of eternity in the simplest flower-Nature is the greatest teacher.
"The quality of mercy is not strained,
It droppeth as the gentle rain from Heaven
Upon the place beneath"(The Merchant of Venice,Shakespeare)
"Where youth grows pale,and spectrethin,and dies;
Where but to think is to be full of sorrow
And leadeneyed despairs,
Where Beauty cannot keep her lustrous eyes,
Or new love pine at them beyond tomorrow"(Ode to a Nightingale,Keats)-the harsh reality of life
There is one thing that my sociology teacher always tells us:
"Always give the best version of the highest vision you have of yourself"-this has helped me a lot.

In unity there is strength.
United we stand, divided we fall.
If at first you don't succeed, try and try again.
Success belongs to the most persevering person.
