Quote by William Shakespeare
His forward voice now is to speak well of his friend. His backward voice is to utter foul speeches and to detract.
Summary
This quote suggests that a person may have two different ways of speaking about others: a positive and supportive front, and a negative and disparaging behind their back. It highlights the dichotomy between someone's true opinions and the persona they present to the world. It serves as a reminder to be cautious of those who may speak highly of others to their faces while secretly belittling them in private.
