Pithy expressions of truth and wisdom from the great bard - expressed in language which is beautiful and elegant. Shakespeare had something to say on almost all aspects of life - vice and virtue, love and hate, jealousy and lust, commerce and ambition. And no writer since has expressed wise counsel in words as eminently quotable. The ring of truth meets the well-turned phrase in this compendium of nearly 400 selections from his plays and sonnets, which are just as relevant today as the day they were written.
