When he is most powerful, nothing does he become.

About This Quote

When he is most powerful, nothing does he become.The poet William Shakespeare has a memorable line about a man who is able to become whatever he wants to be. The man says, “When he is most powerful, nothing does he become.” This expression is from Shakespeare's play Hamlet, Act I, Scene V, Discourse 3. In the play, the character Horatio says to his friend: “The prince of Denmark was a little before this time in England; and now is returned into the province of Denmarke. And there they say he hath been very afflicted and has done many things very wrong." This quote seems to indicate that the most powerful man in the world does not become what they want most.
