WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE: Good name in man and woman
William Shakespeare
(1564-1616)
Good name in man and woman
Good name in man and woman, dear my lord,
Is the immediate jewel of their souls:
Who steals my purse steals trash; ’tis something, nothing;
‘Twas mine, ’tis his, and has been slave to thousands;
But he that filches from me my good name
Robs me of that which not enriches him
And makes me poor indeed.
William Shakespeare, “Othello”, Act 3 scene 3
Shakespeare 400 (1616 – 2016)
