Amen, I should have not missed that opportunity. Thanks.
Many 'quotes to live by' come from Shakespeare,and yet many of his come from the Bible. e.g., "give every man thine ear, but few thy voice" (in Hamlet) is the same as James 1:19, "Let every man be quick to hear slow to speak". Or, "we know what we are, but know not what we may be" (Hamlet) reminds one of 1 Jo. 3:2. And his picture of aging in "As You Like It", "all the world's a stage...etc....", where he speaks of 'seven ages', and the last one where there are "spectacles on nose..turning again toward childish treble, pipes and whistles in his sound. Last scene of all. That ends this strange eventful history, Is second childishness, and mere oblivion. Sans teeth,sans eyes,sans taste,sans everything." Reminds one of Ecclesiastes 12:2-6.
