The wind sits in the shoulder of your sail,
And you are stay’d for.

-Polonius

Hamlet                                              Act I, scene iii, line 55

Believe it or not, this is the second line of Polonius’s speech where he’s sending his son, Laertes, off to college, and in it he gives him all sorts of advice, some of which you will be very familiar with, and probably a little surprised to realize that these little pearls are from Will. Amongst the most familiar there’s Neither a borrower or a lender be, and of course that great one This above all,-- to thine own self be true.

I’m sure you’ve heard these before, but were you aware that these are Will’s lines? Yeah, actually I was.

He's got his hotdog, fries, and lemonade and the best seat on the ship. I think it's safe to say The wind sits in the shoulder of his sail.
