35 William Shakespeare Quotes On Wisdom

Of all the facts about William Shakespeare, one of the strangest of all is that, even though he is considered as the best writer of the English Language that there has ever been, Shakespeare didn’t actually write all the words of some of his plays. However, several people say that William Shakespeare didn’t write any of his works at all and that William Shakespeare was just a pen name that was used by some other writers of his time. Whatever the truth, many of Shakespeare’s words and expressions are still used in the English Language today. These William Shakespeare quotes are interesting and fun to read.





It is a fact about William Shakespeare that he was a productive writer. He wrote 154 poems and 38 plays, but not all the words that are attributed to the bard of Avon were his own. It was pretty common in those days for writers to give some of their writing to others and Shakespeare was no exclusion. One of the stranger truths about William Shakespeare is that it is believed that his own children could well have been uneducated. It is known that his father signed with his mark, rather than his signature, and William Shakespeare was possibly the only person in his family who could read and write.
