Why it matters

The idea in context

This comes from Hamlet, a play built around delay, conscience, grief, and action. The source gives the line more weight than a simple motivational command. William Shakespeare (1564–1616) is widely regarded as the greatest writer in English, author of about 37 plays and 154 sonnets.
