Comment on the quotes from the play:

1. “Be not afraid of greatness. Some are born great, some achieve greatness, and others have greatness thrust upon them.”

Give me excess of it; that surfeiting,
The appetite may sicken, and so die.”

4. “Better a witty fool, than a foolish wit.”

5. “But, indeed, words are very rascals, since bonds [vows] disgraced them."
Viola: "Thy reason, man?"
Feste: "Troth [Truthfully], sir, I can yield you none without words, and words are grown so false, I am loathe to prove reason with them.”

6. “Olivia: What's a drunken man like, fool?
Feste: Like a drowned man, a fool, and a madman: one draught above heat makes him a fool; the second mads him; and a third drowns him.”
