Here are 10 best quotes of William Shakespeares from many... Romeo & Juliet is one of my favorite plays no doubt. Especially the dialogue "O Romeo, Romeo, Wherefore art though Romeo?". But i wanted to give you a taste of other beautiful quote by Shakespeare. In brackets I've given the play from which the quotes are given in case you would like to read more of it.

1. "To be, or not to be, that is the question" (Hamlet)
2. "All that glisters is not gold" (The Merchant of Venice)
3. "Cowards die many times before their deaths" (Julius Ceasar)
4. "Friends, Romans, countrymen, lend me your ears!
I come to bury Caesar, not to praise him.
The evil that men do lives after them,
The good is oft interred with their bones;
So let it be with Caesar." (Julius Ceasar)
5. "Asses are made to bear, and so are you" (Taming of the Shrew)
6. "Some Cupid kills with arrows, some with traps" (Much Ado About Nothing)
7. "We should be woo'd and were not made to woo." (A Midsummer Night's Dream)
8. "What's in a name? That which we call a rose
By any other name would smell as sweet." (Romeo & Juliet)
9. "If music be the food of love, play on,
Give me excess of it; that surfeiting,
The appetite may sicken, and so die." (Twelfth Night Act 1)
10. "Our remedies oft in ourselves do lie,
Which we ascribe to Heaven." (All's Well That Ends Well)
