'All's fair in love and war,' quotes Frank Farleigh (1850, by Francis Edward Smedley, 1818 - 1864) and is the popular paraphrase of 'Love and War are the same thing, and stratagems and polity are as allowable in the one as in the other.' - Miguel de Cervantes (1547 - 1616), Don Quixote (1605 -1615)

Was expectation is the root of all heartache in a shakespeare play?

No, this is not a quotation from Shakespeare. Although he uses the word "expectation" a fair bit, he does not say that it is the root of anything, or any similar statement. He uses "heartache" only the once, in that rather famous speech in Hamlet. Since there is no other provenance offered for the phrase, clearly someone wrote it, then thought it sounded like Shakespeare and falsely attributed it to him.
