  • An image shared on Facebook claims that playwright William Shakespeare said, All glory comes from daring to begin. Verdict: False The statement appears nowhere in Shakespeare’s writing. It actually comes from writer and politician Eugene Ware ‘s 1889 poem. Fact Check: Shakespeare was a playwright and poet active during the late 16th and early 17th century. He wrote, along with numerous sonnets and other poems, at least 37 plays, including Romeo and Juliet and A Midsummer Night’s Dream . However, nowhere is these works, or any of his other plays, does the statement attributed to Shakespeare in the Facebook post appear. The Daily Caller searched a digital archive of all his plays, as well as his collected poems , but found no similar or matching expressions. The Folger Shakespeare Library included the saying in a 2017 list of commonly misattributed quotes. (RELATED: Did Shakespeare Say, ‘The Earth Has Music For Those Who Listen’?) The statement actually comes from Ware ‘s poem John Brown, according to the Folger Shakespeare Library . The poem, inspired by the abolitionist of the same name , was published in 1889 as part of his Rhymes of Ironquill poetry collection. (en)
