Answers:
King Lear Act 4 Scene 6
When we are born, we cry that we are come to this great stage of fools.
To me this sums up so beautifully and succinctly the human condition.
PS Ouija's cry havoc quote is from Julius Caesar not Macbeth
Perhaps my favourite quote of all time is Iago's explanation of jealousy in Othello. The quote below is only one of the many quotes used in reference to jealousy within the play, but its the most famous too:
Iago:
O, beware, my lord, of jealousy;
It is the green-eyed monster which doth mock
The meat it feeds on; that cuckold lives in bliss
Who, certain of his fate, loves not his wronger;
But, O, what damned minutes tells he o'er
Who dotes, yet doubts, suspects, yet strongly loves!
Hope this helps!

Oh, how can you choose just one, you are a hard taskmaster but I think it has to be this.
'If I lose mine honour, I lose myself'
Anthony and Cleopatra
"Cry Havoc, and let slip the dogs of war."
"All the world's a stage,
And all the men and women merely players.
They have their exits and their entrances,
And one man in his time plays many parts,
His acts being seven ages."
--From As You Like It (II, vii, 139-143)
This has to be my favorite quote from Shakespeare, it goes to reflect the uncertainty and uncontrolability of life, how people who think they might have control, are really just bit players in the larger scheme of things.
This is my choice. So many times in life we worry about what could happen and it keeps us from doing anything. When I'm struck with fear about making a decision and its repercussions then I think of this quote from Julius Caesar.
"Cowards die many times before their deaths,
The valiant never taste of death but once."
