1. It's a great quote; but from Richard III, I think. |

O villain, villain, smiling, damned villain! My tables,—meet it is I set it down, That one may smile, and smile, and be a villain: At least I ’m sure it may be so in Denmark.

5. Shakespeare liked that metaphor. "There 's daggers in men's smiles". "Macbeth". |
