Life lessons from Shakespeare



Love is dangerous.
Hate is dangerous.
Danger is dangerous.

Neither a borrower nor a lender be. Being a lawyer is also dangerous during public uprisings.

Poisonous snakes are dangerous, as are bears, swords, axes and casks of wine big enough to be drowned in.

If you love someone and aren’t allowed to marry them, the next person you meet will probably be the person you love in disguise.

Never, ever fake your own death.

If you persist in calling a surly, heavily armed man a foul, misshapen lump he will probably kill you.
If you kill everyone who calls you a foul, misshapen lump, eventually their relatives will gang up and kill you.

Never listen when people who hate you offer to prove that your loved ones are unfaithful.

Staging a coup based on the advice of strange cooks making a dodgy stew in the middle of a blasted heath is no basis for stable governmental transition.
People born by Caesarian section are especially dangerous.
