to be or not to be that is the question... Can't handle reading Shakespeare these days, but I took Shakespeare in the 11th grade for 1/2 a yr. and I loved it.
Some of those I'm not familiar with, but interesting to learn all of those are from Shakesphere. You learn new things everyday. Thanks for posting. Sandy's Space
Ugh I LOVE the Bard! Although I must say in looking at the picture, the expression is not "baited" breath, hahaa! It is BATED breath. An abbreviation of ABATED, or temporarily suspended. xoxo

Hmmm, who would have guessed.
I like “dead as a door mail”!

I like it that we owe so much of our language richness to Shapespeare.
So many more than I imagined!!!
