Quote by William Shakespeare

'T is better to be lowly born, And range with humble livers in content, Than to be perked up in a glistering grief, And wear a golden sorrow.

'T is better to be lowly born, And range with humble livers

Summary

This quote suggests that it is preferable to come from a humble background and live a simple life filled with contentment, rather than being elevated in status but burdened with immense sadness. It implies that material wealth and outward appearances do not necessarily bring true happiness, and that a modest life in which one is satisfied with what they have is more fulfilling than a life of luxury and despair.
