About This Quote
Shakespeare said, “Have I have played my part well in the comedy of life? If so, clap your hands and dismiss me from the stage with applause.” The idea is that if you are doing good in the world, then you must be making a difference. If you are helping to make the world a better place, then you must be doing your job. The phrase can also be interpreted as meaning that if you have done your job well, then you should simply let go of it and move on.
