Shakespeare wrote more famous quotes than most of the rest of the authors in the world put together. Get a book of Famous Quotations, like Bartlett's, and check out the length of the section on Shakespeare. It should occupy about a third of the book, and The Bible another third.
Some of Shakespeare's quotations are so deeply imbedded in the language that people no longer recognize them as quotations. Do you think of Shakespeare every time you hear about someone wearing their heart on their sleeve? Didn't think so. But it in fact is a quotation from Shakespeare's play Othello. Ever heard of a foregone conclusion? Othello also. Ever heard of something being the be-all and the end-all? Macbeth. Would you say that this is too much of a good thing? As You Like It. Or that I am laying it on with a trowel? As You Like It also.
Talking about "the famous quote of Shakespeare" as if there is only one is like talking about the grain of sand in the Sahara desert.
