About This Quote

The quote, "Books are yours, Within whose silent chambers treasure lies Preserved from age to age; more precious far Than that accumulated store of gold And orient gems, which, for a day of need, The Sultan hides deep in ancestral tombs." is one of the most profound statements on life. It is also a very inspirational quote. The person who said this was William Shakespeare. He was born on April 2315. He lived during the 15th century.

He was an English playwright, poet and actor. He wrote over 450 plays. Shakespeare has been called "perhaps the greatest writer who ever lived", by some people. And they are right.

Some people even say they can't think of another writer who has influenced so many writers since his time. Shakespeare was the most influential writer in England's history, and even now people still read his plays. People still watch Shakespeare movies because he is so well known throughout the world. He is known as one of the best writers for stories that are tragic, but he also wrote comedies and other types of works that are not tragic at all. This quote is about how valuable books are to us.

They are even more valuable than any amount of money you have put into them over the years because they will last forever and we can look back at them and enjoy them for years and years to come. Books tell us about things we want to know, and they also can teach us things we do not know that we should know to be successful in life and in school and other things like that as well (so we should read them). When you buy a book it means you will read it because you love it and you want to learn something from it (like I do).

You will remember this quote forever because it will make you happy when you think about books (like I do). Shakespeare's plays were all written around the same time, but each one had a different theme for each playwright to use his/her own words to express what he/she wanted to say to other people that were watching his/her play. For example: Romeo and Juliet: Should lovers never part? Hamlet: Is there any way to avoid insanity? Othello: Is good always rewarded? Macbeth: Is it better to live your life without knowing your future than having your life ruined by what could happen tomorrow? King Lear: Will power rule the world or will humanity fall apart? As
