The greatest writer in this language. We all aspire to the heights and breadth's of his genius. He could say more in seven syllables than most writers could say in ten volumes.

Brush up your Shakespeare,
Start quoting him now.
Brush up your Shakespeare
And the women you will wow.
Just declaim a few lines from “Othello”
And they’ll think you’re a heck of a fellow.
If your blonde won’t respond when you flatter her
Tell her what Tony told Cleopatra,
And if still, to be shocked, she pretends well,
Just remind her that “All’s Well That Ends Well.”
Brush up your Shakespeare
And they’ll all kowtow.
—Cole Porter

I'm partial to the Shakespeare insult generator.
