Good call, although Shakespeare sort of beat you to it. He has it as:

Life’s but a walking shadow, a poor player that struts and frets his hour upon the stage and is heard no more. It is a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.”

Shakespeare had lots of thoughts, none of them in a shower I’d wager

Hi TheLonelySea,

It looks like your comment closely matches the famous quote:

"To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,To the last syllable of recorded time;And all our yesterdays have lighted foolsThe way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,And then is heard no more. It is a taleTold by an idiot, full of sound and fury,Signifying nothing." - William Shakespeare,

I'm a bot and this action was automatic Project source.

I’ve often thought he needed a good editor.
