Random Quotes From Bill
That is Bill Shakespeare of course, not Bill Gates. William Shakespeare is regarded as the greatest English Dramatist and poet:author of comedies, tragedies, historical plays and sonnets, and an actor as well. Lived in England from 1564-1616. Some 395 years later his observations on human behaviour, foibles, traits, life and death are still apposite and as unforgettable now as they were then.
#1. As You Like It; Act 11,vii.

#2. The Comedy of Errors. Act IV, v ??
” Let me have war,say I; it exceeds peace as far as day does the night: it’s sprightly, waking, audible, and full of vent.Peace is a very apoplexy, lethargy; mull’d, deaf, sleeping, insensible, a getter of more bastard children than war’s a destroyer of man”.
#3. Hamlet. Act IV,v iv
“How all occasions do inform against me,
And spur my dull revenge! What is a man,
If his chief good and marker of his time,
Be but to sleep and feed? A beast no more!
Sure that he that made us with such large discourse, looking before and after, gave us
That capability and god like reason, to fust in us,unus’d.
