Favorite Shakespeare Quote?

What's your favorite quote from a William Shakespeare play?

The Shakespeare quote that has had the biggest impact on me is this one from Macbeth. It is so uplifting:

Tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.

      'Tis but thy name that is my enemy;
      Thou art thyself, though not a Montague.
      What's Montague? it is nor hand, nor foot,
      Nor arm, nor face, nor any other part
      Belonging to a man. O, be some other name!
      What's in a name? that which we call a rose
      By any other name would smell as sweet;
      So Romeo would, were he not Romeo call'd,
      Retain that dear perfection which he owes
      Without that title. Romeo, doff thy name,
      And for that name which is no part of thee
      Take all myself.

    Not sure if ole Bill ever actually wrote this anywhere but if he didn't he should have.

      Old men forget; yet all shall be forgot
      But he'll remember with advantages
      What feats he did that day. Then shall our names,
      Familiar in his mouth as household words,
      Harry the King, Bedford and Exeter,
      Warwick and Talbot, Salisbury and Gloucester,
      Be in their flowing cups freshly remembered.
      This story shall the good man teach his son,
      And Crispin Crispian shall ne'er go by,
      From this day to the ending of the world,
      But we in it shall be rememberèd--
      We few, we happy few, we band of brothers;
      For he today that sheds his blood with me
      Shall be my brother; be he ne'er so vile,
      This day shall gentle his condition;
      And gentlemen in England now abed
      Shall think themselves accursed they were not here,
      And hold their manhoods cheap whiles any speaks
      That fought with us upon Saint Crispin's day.
