407 years after the death of William Shakespeare it is simply amazing to behold the panoply of words and phrases found in his written that resonate for many people, to this day.

Here is a brief roster of key phrases, observations, and witticisms that Shakespeare has bestowed upon us:

To thine own self be true

A horse! A horse! My kingdom for a horse!
