“In a time of disorder [Laertes] has returned to the care of the earth, the foundation of life and hope. And Odysseus finds him in an act emblematic of the best and most responsible kind of agriculture: an old man caring for a young tree.”

“There is a willow grows askant the brook,
That shows his hoar leaves in the glassy stream.
Therewith fantastic garlands did she make
Of crowflowers, nettles, daisies, and long purples,
That liberal shepherds give a grosser name,
But our cold maids do dead-men's-fingers call them.
There on the pendant boughs her crownet weeds
Clambering to hang, an envious sliver broke,
When down her weedy trophies and herself
Fell in the weeping brook. Her clothes spread wide,
And mermaid-like awhile they bore her up;
Which time she chanted snatches of old tunes,
As one incapable of her own distress,
Or like a creature native and indued
Unto that element.”
― Hamlet

“隆Todav铆a aqu铆, Laertes! 隆A bordo, a bordo! 隆Qu茅 verg眉enza! El viento sopla en la popa de tu nave, y s贸lo aguardan tu llegada. Ac茅rcate. 隆Que mi bendici贸n sea contigo! Y procura imprimir en la memoria estos pocos preceptos: No propales tus pensamientos ni ejecutes nada inconveniente. S茅 sencillo, pero en modo alguno vulgar. Los amigos que escojas y cuya adopci贸n hayas puesto a prueba, suj茅talos a tu alma con garfios de acero, pero no encallezcas tu mano con agasajos a todo camarada reci茅n salido sin plumas del cascar贸n. Gu谩rdate de entrar en pendencia: pero, una vez en ella, obra de modo que sea el contrario quien se guarde de ti. Presta a todos tu o铆do, pero a pocos tu voz. Oye las censuras de los dem谩s, pero reserva tu juicio. Que tu vestido sea tan costoso como tu bolsa lo permita, pero sin afectaci贸n a la hechura; rico, mas no extravagante, porque el traje revela al sujeto, y en Francia las personas de m谩s alta alcurnia y posici贸n son de esto modelo de finura y esplendidez. No pidas ni des prestado a nadie, pues el prestar hace perder a un tiempo el dinero y al amigo, y el tomar prestado embota el filo de la econom铆a. Y, sobre todo, esto: s茅 sincero contigo mismo y de ello se seguir谩, como la noche al d铆a, que no puedes ser falso con nadie. 隆Adi贸s! Que mi bendici贸n haga fructificar en ti todo esto.”

“Conviene pues, no omitir precauci贸n alguna, pues la mayor seguridad estriba en el temor prudente. La juventud, aun cuando nadie la combate, halla en s铆 misma su propio enemigo.”

“Then, if he says he loves you,
It fits your wisdom so far to believe it
As he in his particular act and place
May give his saying deed; which is no further
Than the main voice of Denmark goes withal.
Then weigh what loss your honour may sustain
If with too credent ear you list his songs,
Or lose your heart, or your chaste treasure open
To his master importunity.
Fear it, Ophelia, fear it, my dear sister.
And keep you in the rear of your affection,
Out of the shot and danger of desire.
The chariest maid is prodigal enough
If she unmask her beauty to the moon.
Virtue itself 'scapes not calumnious strokes.
The canker galls the infants of the spring
Too oft before their buttons be disclosed;
And in the morn and liquid dew of youth
Contagious blastments are more imminent.
Be wary then. Best safety lies in fear.
Youth to itself rebels, though none else near.”

“This above all: to thine own self be true,
And it must follow, as the night the day,
Thou cannot not then be false to any man.
Farewell. My blessing season this in thee!”

“One woe doth tread upon another's heel,
So fast they follow. Your sister's drowned, Laertes.”

“give order that these bodies
High on a stage by placed to the view.
And let me speak to the unknowing world
How these things came about. So shall you hear
Of carnal, bloody, and unnatural acts,
Of accidental judgements, casual slaughters,
Of deaths put on by cunning and forced cause,
And, in this upshot, purposes mistook
Fallen on th'inventors' heads. All this can I
Truly deliver.”
