To be, or not to be: that is the question:   
Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer   
The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune,   
Or to take arms against a sea of troubles,   
And by opposing end them. To die: to sleep;   
No more; and by a sleep to say we end   
The heart-ache, and the thousand natural shocks   
That flesh is heir to, 'tis a consummation   
Devoutly to be wish'd. To die, to sleep;   
To sleep: perchance to dream: aye, there's the rub;   
For in that sleep of death what dreams may come,   
When we have shuffled off this mortal coil,   
Must give us pause: there's the respect   
That makes calamity of so long life;   
For who would bear the whips and scorns of time,   
The oppressor's wrong, the proud man's contumely,   
The pangs of despised love, the law's delay,   
The insolence of office, and the spurns   
That patient merit of the unworthy takes,   
When he himself might his quietus make   
With a bare bodkin? who would fardels bear,   
To grunt and sweat under a weary life,   
But that the dread of something after death,   
The undiscover'd country from whose bourn   
No traveler returns, puzzles the will,   
And makes us rather bear those ills we have   
Than fly to others that we know not of?   
Thus conscience does make cowards of us all,   
And thus the native hue of resolution   
Is sicklied o'er with the pale cast of thought,   
And enterprises of great pitch and moment   
With this regard their currents turn awry   
And lose the name of action.
