Shakespeare's famous Little Lines...!
This Topic was triggered, for me, by Pesta's post elsewhere, in the list.There are so many Quotes, lines & verses, from Bill S, which stay very relevant each and every day.
"Once more unto the Breach.."
"All that Glitters"
"All the World's a Stage..."
"Some are Born Great..."
Do you have a favourite?

Neither a borrower nor a lender be ;
........ to thine own self be true ;
and a particular favourite of mine as I was lucky enough to experience the line being delivered by Patrick Stewart as Shylock -
If you prick us, do we not bleed?

Oh can't say I've ever triggered anyone before Ted and not sure which trigger triggered your trigger
..
If I'm in bitch mode this one quite often springs to mind:
'Lay it on with a trowel'
To lay something on with a trowel is to crudely labour a point, or flatter in an overly generous manner.
