Synopsis
Pithy expressions of truth and wisdom from the great bard – expressed in language which is beautiful and elegant.
Shakespeare had something to say on almost all aspects of life – vice and virtue, love and hate, jealousy and lust, commerce and ambition. And no writer since has expressed wise counsel in words as eminently quotable.
The ring of truth meets the well-turned phrase in this compendium of nearly 400 selections from his plays and sonnets, which are just as relevant today as the day they were written.

From the Back Cover
PLEASURE
Frame your mind to mirth and merriment,
Which bars a thousand harms and lengthens life.
PAIN
O, how bitter a thing it is to look into
happiness through another man’s eyes!
LOVE
Love is blind, and lovers cannot see
The pretty follies that themselves commit.
MONEY
Poor and content is rich, and
rich enough; But riches fineless is as poor as winter
To him that ever fears he shall be poor.
