He didn’t come up with that “Wait for it!” bull**** did he? I’d like to punch that guy in the mouth. Of course, I’d say, “Wait for it!” before I sucker punched him in the chops.

Be not afraid of greatness: some are born great, some achieve greatness, and some have greatness thrust upon them.

Better three hours too soon than a minute too late.

Regardless if the dude even existed or not, I feel intimidated writing about him using my own pathetically limited vocabulary, as I am that enthralled and marveled by his English language skillz (sorry, Will).

The staggering dumbness of that "sentence" hurts my head...

HAMLET
Lady, shall I lie in your lap?

OPHELIA
No, my lord.

HAMLET
I mean, my head upon your lap?

OPHELIA
Ay, my lord.

HAMLET
Do you think I meant country matters?

OPHELIA
I think nothing, my lord.

HAMLET
That’s a fair thought to lie between maids’ legs.

OPHELIA
What is, my lord?

HAMLET
Nothing.

If I'm not mistaken, that was Henry XVII, part 4. Although it may have been Henry XVI, part 23. (Sorry, just too many Henry's to keep track of.)

That wasn’t Shakespeare, but his little known office assistant Sir Mix-A-Lot.

Don’t know about “wipe out,” but “bite the dust” is Shakespeare.
