Quote by William Shakespeare

Be thou as chaste as ice, as pure as snow, thou shalt not escape calumny.

Be thou as chaste as ice, as pure as snow, thou shalt not es

Summary

This quote means that even if someone is extremely virtuous, innocent, and faultless, they will still face criticism and defamation. Just like how ice and snow are symbols of purity and cleanliness, it implies that the person should strive to be morally upright. However, it also highlights the harsh reality that no matter how untainted they are, there will always be people who will slander or tarnish their reputation. Ultimately, it suggests that encountering calumny is an inevitable part of life, regardless of one's character or actions.
