They say, best men are moulded out of faults, And, for the most, become much more the better For being a little bad.

William Shakespeare

1564-1616 was an English poet, playwright and actor, widely regarded as the greatest writer in the English language and the world's greatest dramatist. He is often called England's national poet and the "Bard of Avon". His extant works, including collaborations, consist of approximately 37 plays, 154 sonnets, two long narrative poems, and a few other verses, some of uncertain authorship. His plays have been translated into every major living language and are performed more often than those of any other playwright.

    de siger, de bedste mænd er støbt ud af fejl, og for det meste bliver de meget bedre desto bedre for at være lidt dårlige.

    Dicen que los mejores hombres se moldean a partir de los defectos y, en su mayoría, se vuelven mucho más mejores por ser un poco malos.

    Ze zeggen: beste mannen zijn gevormd uit fouten, en worden in de meeste gevallen veel beter omdat ze een beetje slecht zijn.
