ALL HAIL THE BARD

If you declare “It’s Greek to me,” you are quoting Shakespeare.

If you claim to be more sinned against than sinning, you are quoting Shakespeare.

If you recall your salad days, Act more in sorrow than in anger, if your lost property has vanished into thin air, if you refuse to budge an inch, suffer from green-eyed jealousy, have played fast and loose, have been tongue-tied, a tower of strength, hoodwinked or In a pickle you are quoting Shakespeare.

If you have knitted your brows, Made a virtue of necessity, Insisted on fair play, Slept not on wink, Had cold comfort or Had too much of a good thing you are quoting  Shakespeare.

If you have seen better days, or lived in a fool’s paradise, be that as it may, the more fool you, for it is a foregone conclusion that you are (as good luck would have it) quoting Shakespeare.

Even if you bid me good riddance and send me packing, if you wish I were dead as a doornail, if you think I am an eyesore, a laughing stock, the devil incarnate, a stony-hearted villain, bloody minded or a blinking idiot, then, by Jove, for goodness’ sake, you are quoting Shakespeare!
