Dialogue with Shakespeare....
(Based on phrases coined by the Bard Himself !)
( dear friend ) …As good luck would have it
( It seems)…All that glitters is not gold
(so) Lie low
(in this) Brave new world
(with) Bated breath
(as)…..The better part of valor is discretion
(and) Brevity is the soul of wit
…… (also )…Conscience does make cowards of us all !!!
( it is a ) Foregone conclusion
( so do not live in ) Fool's paradise
( pl.) Give the devil his due
( and say ) …Good riddance
( to) Jealousy…. is the green-eyed monster
( well…) ….It’s high time
( to understand that ) …Love is blind
(and…alas !) …Misery acquaints a man with strange bedfellows
So …..
The short and the long of it…
( is that ) …Sweet are the uses of adversity
( and ) …Men's evil manners live in brass; their virtues we write in water
( and remember….finally….)
What's in a name? A rose by any other name would smell as sweet!!!
