“There is a tide in the affairs of men, Which taken at the flood, leads on to fortune. Omitted, all the voyage of their life is bound in shallows and in miseries. On such a full sea are we now afloat. And we must take the current when it serves, or lose our ventures.”
William Shakespeare, Julius Caesar Act 4, scene 3

Like a Raging Ocean, High
In Wrath and Scorn, Roaring,
Yet let not the Tempest Keep
Your Dreams From Soaring!

One of my absolute favourite excerpts from Shakespeare, it so profoundly and concisely encapsulates the nature of human life. Such a majestic picture, too!

I confess to never having read Julius Caesar…yet. But Must agree, this is so profound (altho I had to read it three times before I entirely grasped what was being said 🙂 )

And there is a whole new level of irony in these thoughts and words when set in the context of the overall story depicted by the play.
