About This Quote
Every man is a divinity in disguise, a god playing the fool. This quote comes from the famous writer William Shakespeare, who was famous for writing powerful quotes. Each one of us is a person with great potential to achieve great things, if only we would make the effort to apply ourselves. The idea here is that we all have the ability to be something greater than we thought we could be, and that we all deserve respect and admiration for who we truly are.
