Quote by William Shakespeare
Sigh no more, ladies, sigh no more,Men were deceivers ever,-One foot in sea and one on shore,To one thing constant never.
Summary
This quote, from William Shakespeare's play "Much Ado About Nothing," captures a cynical view of men's fidelity. It suggests that women should stop sighing and lamenting over men's unfaithfulness, as they have always been and will continue to be deceivers. Men are portrayed as being divided between different commitments, never being faithful to just one thing. The quote highlights the idea that women should not expect complete loyalty or constancy from men and should perhaps let go of romantic ideals.
