[Many familiar quotations or phrases come from the Bard of Avon. Your task is to give the 15 plays from which these 15 quotations originated. Or wait until tomorrow, read the correct answers, and say, “I knew ‘em all”. I used a quotation as an example. – And Hamlet IS also the right answer to one of the 15. I know, I’m a softy giving away a correct answer.]

Example: "To thine own self be true.” = Hamlet

 

1. "Parting is such sweet sorrow.”

 

2. "What’s done is done."

 

3. “Uneasy lies the head that wears a crown.”

 

4. “Cowards die many times before their deaths…”

 

5. "How sharper than a serpent's tooth it is to have a thankless child!"

 

6. “I have not slept one wink.”

 

7. "A horse! A horse! My kingdom for a horse!"

 

8. "All the world's a stage, and all the men and women merely players."

 

9. "We are such stuff as dreams are made on".

 

10. “The course of true love never did run smooth.”

 

11. “Once more unto the breach, dear friends, once more.”

 

12. "If music be the food of love, play on". 

 

13. “The world is my oyster.”

 

14. “The better part of valor is discretion.”

 

15. “Brevity is the soul of wit.”
