If you are searching for William Shakespeare quotes on life lessons? You have come to the right place. Here are the inspirational Shakespeare quotes on life lessons and a short biography. William Shakespeare was an English writer, playwright, and actor. He is generally viewed as the best author in the English language and the world's greatest dramatist.
William Shakespeare was born baptized on 26 April 1564. His date of birth is obscure, yet is traditionally observed on 23 April, Saint George's Day. At 18 years old, he wedded Anne Hathaway, with whom he had three children: Susanna and twins Hamnet and Judith. At some point somewhere in the range of 1585 and 1592, he started a fruitful profession in London as an on-screen character, author, and part-proprietor of a playing company called the Lord Chamberlain's Men, later known as the King's Men. He seems to have retired to Stratford, where he died three years later on 23 April 1616 at age 52.
Shakespeare is regularly called England's national poet and the "Bard of Avon" (or simply "the Bard"). His surviving works, including coordinated efforts, comprised of nearly 39 plays, 154 sonnets, two long narrative poems, and a couple of different sections, some of the uncertain authorship. His plays have been translated into each major living language and are performed more regularly than those of some other dramatists. Check out the following best William Shakespeare quotes on life lessons, success, love, death, happiness, friendship, time, beauty, and others.
