"All the world's a stage, and all the men and women merely players. They have their exits and their entrances; And one man in his time plays many parts."

As You Like It, Act 2, Scene 7

****

"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: to die, to sleep"

Hamlet, Act 3, Scene 1

****

"O gentlemen, the time of life is short!

To spend that shortness basely were too long,

If life did ride upon a dial's point,

Still ending at the arrival of an hour."

Henry IV, Act 5, Scene 2

****

"Let life be short: else shame will be too long."

Henry V, Act 4, Scene 5

The sands are number'd that make up my life;

Here must I stay, and here my life must end."

Think of this life; but, for my single self,

I had as lief not be as live to be

In awe of such a thing as I myself."

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 nothing."
