  2. 'To do a great right, do a little wrong.' This quote is from Macbeth and it inspires me most because it's saying that you've got to make mistakes to get the right answer.

  3. My favourite quote is knock knock who's there, by William Shakespeare. Because it's used for jokes then and now because it's a joke so people will use it as a joke.

    1. This is a tricky one Aaliyah. Most people agree that it was actually Hans Christian Andersen, the Danish author, who wrote this in his book What The Moon Saw. He wrote: 'when words fail, sounds can often speak'. This is not about never giving up though. Think again ...

    1. Elizabeth, where do these quotes come from, what play or poem? Why do they mean something to you?

    2. I chose that quote from Romeo and Juliet because it really motivated me and got me thinking and I think that is a rule I'm going to live by and when I first read it in my head I was asking myself 'Is this wise enough for you and is it a quote you want to live by forever ?'.Another reason why I chose the quote is because I love the play Rome on andJuliet and in my opinion it is the best play William Shakespeare ever wrote.

    3. Elizabeth, what do you think Shakespeare means when he says: 'Do not swear by the moon for it changes constantly'?

  13. My favourite quote is " What's in a name? That which we call a rose by any other name would smell sweet." I like this quote because it describes me a little bit.

  14. I think when Shakespeare said do not swear by the moon for it changes constantly he meant that don't put your faith in something that isn't permanent. I think this because if you do it will let you down

    1. I agree Elizabeth and remembering that the play Romeo and Juliet is a tragedy, why do you think Shakespeare used these words?

      Delete
    2. I think Shakespeare used these words because he was trying to say that why should you give your heart to somebody who isn't ready to keep it permanently. I think that young girls should know this, so that when they're older they'll have advice and know what to do if they ever end up in a dramatic situation.

    3. Now find another quote Elizabeth that has a different theme or meaning.

  15. I like that says what is a name? That wich we call a rose by any other name would smell as sweet. Because it tells the proson how lovely their name is like it is sweet as a rose and it sounds very nice.

  16. We know what we are,but know not what we may be.

    Be not afraid of greatness:some are born great,some achieve greatness,thrust upon them.
    To thine own self be true, and it must follow,as the night the day thou canst not then be false to any man.

    These quotes inspire me because it sounds very powerful.

  17. Breathe it's just a bad day,not a bad life.
    This inspires because some people say that they are having the worst day of their lives.
    You say that you love rain,
    But you open your umbrella when it rains.
    You say that you love the sun,
    But you find a shadow spot when the sun shines.
    You say that you love wind,
    But you close your windows when wind blows.
    This is why I am afraid,you say that you love me too.
    This is true and that's why it inspires me

  18. Love all, trust a few, do wrong to none. I like this one because it is telling you to love everyone and be kind and it inspires me to be kind to others and do wrong to none everyone should do this William shakespear is a great man because his words are so inspiring.

  19. “Love looks not with the eyes, but with the mind, and therefore is winged Cupid painted blind.” (A Midsummer Night’s Dream)

    This means that it shouldn’t matter what a person looks like, you love them for their personality and what’s inside. The quote is said in jealousy, in A Midsummer Night’s Dream, by Helena because Demetrius thinks that Hermia is more beautiful than Helena and has been swayed by her beauty. Helena thinks that Demetrius should love her for who she is and keep his promises to her rather than loving Hermia for her beauty.

  20. I like Romeo and Juliet because it was love story and Romeo and Juliet aren't like there parents and he probably made it for his wife
