Words of Wisdom: William Shakespeare

William Shakespeare, author, has some interesting ideas about money and a few other things:

  • Neither a borrower nor a lender be
  • The fool doth think he is wise, but the wise man knows himself to be a fool
  • My pride fell with my fortunes
  • Having nothing, nothing can he lose
  • He that wants money, means, and content is without three good friends
  • Better three hours too soon than a minute too late
  • Ambition should be made of sterner stuff
  • Be not afraid of greatness: some are born great, some achieve greatness, and some have greatness thrust upon them
  • Fishes live in the sea, as men do a-land; the great ones eat up the little ones
  • Nothing can come of nothing
  • Fortune brings in some boats that are not steered
  • Listen to many, speak to a few
  • I wasted time, and now doth time waste me
  • Mind your speech a little lest you should mar your fortunes
  • For I can raise no money by vile means
