A bit of wisdom that has been preached by many famous authors, including Ralph Waldo Emerson and Emily Dickenson, this advice carries great value. Be yourself. Be comfortable with who you are, confident about being you, and respectful toward yourself. Do these things and, if someone judges you: What does it matter? They will only be making themselves look bad.
 * Week 1:** //"This above all: to thine own self be true."//

Think positively about the afterlife; your afterlife in particular. Seek a greater purpose and live your life in a way that you are assured will get you into heaven. With a comforting view of your future, your present will be joyous.
 * Week 2:** //"The love of heaven makes one heavenly."//

Poor William, like most men, did not fully understand women. They tend to not say what they mean, thus speaking a foreign language that requires interpretation. The behavioral language of a woman---which Shakespeare considered to be her most reliable form of communication---may very well contradict the verbal language that she expresses.
 * Week 3:** //"Women speak two languages – one of which is verbal."//

A person who talks too much often says things that are extraneous or meaningless to others. People do not want to listen to him because it takes too much effort. A person who seldom speaks, on the contrary, will typically only talk when she has something important to say, therefore receiving more respect when using words. Her words will not be spent in vain.
 * Week 4:** //"When words are scarce they are seldom spent in vain."//

This is simply a beautiful illustration of tears racing each other down Jaques' face as he cries.
 * Week 5:** //"The big round tears Coursed one another down his innocent nose, In piteous chase."//

This is a good quote to use when a friend gives you terrible advice. Shakespeare's Leonato is basically telling his brother Antonio to "shut up" because the advice he gives him is not profitable. Antonio's council is like a gold miner attempting to strain gold out of pure water; nothing good will come out of it because it contained no value in the first place.
 * Week 6:** //"I pray thee, cease thy counsel, Which falls into mine ears as profitless As water in a sieve."//

Frowns can do more damage than you might think. They can send out bad vibes or make their wearer seem unapproachable. To reverse these malignant effects, one must turn his frown up-side down.
 * Week 7:** //"A smile re-cures the wounding of a frown."//
