"Why, what is pomp, rule, reign, but..." - Quote by William Shakespeare

“After life's fitful fever he sleeps well. Treason has done his worst. Nor steel nor poison, malice domestic, foreign levy, nothing can touch him further.”

“Sufferance is the badge of all our tribe.”

“Love goes toward love.”

“Our revels now are ended. These our actors, As I foretold you, were all spirits and Are melted into air, into thin air: And, like the baseless fabric of this vision, The cloud-capp'd towers, the gorgeous palaces, The solemn temples, the great globe itself, Yea, all which it inherit, shall dissolve And, like this insubstantial pageant faded, Leave not a rack behind. We are such stuff As dreams are made on, and our little life Is rounded with a sleep.”

“In order to exist just once in the world, it is necessary never again to exist.”

“And thou wilt give thyself relief, if thou doest every act of thy life as if it were the last.”

“Wherever you are, that’s your stage, your circle of influence. That’s your talk show, that’s where your power lies. ... You have the power to change somebody’s life. Everyone has a calling, and your real job in life is to figure out what that is and get about the business of doing it.”

“Unless bureaucracy is constantly resisted, it breaks down representative government and overwhelms democracy.”

“Democracy represents the disbelief in all great men and in all elite societies: everybody is everybody's equal.”
