Beautiful Stories from Shakespeare · E. Nesbit
Chapter 1
By E. Nesbit “It may be said of Shakespeare, that from his works may be collected a system of civil and economical prudence. He has been imitated by all succeeding writers; and it may be doubted whether from all his successors more maxims of theoretical knowledge, or more rules of practical prudence can be collected than he alone has given to his country.”-- Dr. SAMUEL JOHNSON.
