IIRC the Shakespeare quote is accurate but out of context it has become the most widely misunderstood statement ever made in the English language. The "kill all the lawyers" statement was from an advisor who was asked how to go about establishing totalitarian rule, and the meaning was clear: that lawyers would stand in the way of tyranny.
