About This Quote

The quote by William Shakespeare, “In words, as fashions, the same rule will hold;Alike fantastic, if too new, or old:Be not the first by whom the new are tried,Nor yet the last to lay the old aside” shows that people in our society like change and try new things all of the time. However, in the end, we all need something that we know and that we know well. We need to find the balance between trying new things and finding our own personal style.
