what did SHAKESPEARE say ?

1)A fool thinks himself to be wise, but a wise man knows himself to be a fool.
2)Alas, I am a woman friendless, hopeless!
3)Farewell, fair cruelty.
4)Speak low if you speak love.
5)I pray you, do not fall in love with me, For I am falser than vows made in wine!

 

1.  Every fool thinks that he is wise - empty vessels makes most noise.  A wiseman however knows that and pretends to be a fool in order to stay alive.

 

2.  You made a mistake.  You forget an important comma.  The quote is "Alas, I am a woman, friendless, hopeless!".  - Queen Katherine, Henry VIII

 

3.  By itself, cruelty is personified.  Here fair means beautiful.  It means that someone handsome/beautiful did not return the love to another person.  All depends on the context.  It's a beautiful and classy way of saying goodbye but I shall miss you very much.

 

4.  If you speaking of love to me, don't shout, just whisper.

 

5.  Don't trust what I say about loving you.  It is like when I am drunk and do not know what I am saying.

1)A fool thinks himself to be wise, but a wise man knows himself to be a fool.

Foolish people are proud of themselves blindly, while wise people tend to find know their own faults, so that they can be even smarter.

To be more clear, people of low IQ tend to believe that they are smart. However, people of high IQ are quite moderate.
2)Alas, I am a woman friendless, hopeless!

I am a female human, and I am not friendly and kind to others. So it is hopeless. It is cold reality.
3)Farewell, fair cruelty.

Farewell => good bye. Fair cruelty => To some extent it is cruel. That means I will always miss you forever. Very sweat and romantic quote.
4)Speak low if you speak love.

Speaking to your beloved girlfriend, I advice you speak softly and sweatly instead of shouting to her.
5)I pray you, do not fall in love with me, For I am falser than vows made in wine!

I don't think you should love me, becouse I am always telling lies.

These are all Shakespeare quotes. "What did Shakespeare MEAN?" Of course, it helps to see the quote in context.

The fool doth think he is wise, but the wise man knows himself to be a fool.
