The King James Version of the Holy Bible is utilized within the Studies section of our website. It is an ‘open source’ Bible, meaning it may be copied and shared freely. Because of its early 17th Century compiliation, some say it sounds ‘just like Shakespeare’ referring to the famous bard, William Shakespeare.

Do you think so, too? Are you able to tell the difference between a quote from the Bible or the Bard?

Here are 30 quotes from either the Bible or the Bard.  Shakespeare, in “Macbeth”, said “Cowards die many times before their deaths; The valiant never taste of death but once”. Be valiant!
