Do not try to be your father boy, it is a hopeless pursuit, particularly when you, like I, have a father of such colossal proportions.

A.H. Septimius
About This Quote

This quote is a famous phrase from the play "Hamlet" by William Shakespeare. Hamlet is speaking to his son, who is trying to act just like his father. Instead of spending all of your time trying to be your father, you should spend time figuring out what you want to do with your life. Be yourself instead of trying to be someone else. You will never reach your full potential if you are constantly afraid that you aren’t living up to your father’s high standards.
