There is no objective way to prove that something is more famous than something else. However, just about everyone will have heard the quotation "To be or not to be; that is the question" from Hamlet. Also from Hamlet, the quotation, "Alas, poor Yorick, I knew him Horatio", usually misquoted as "Alas poor Yorick, I knew him well." Many people have also heard of "O, Romeo, Romeo, wherefore art thou Romeo" although it is frequently misunderstood by those who do not know the meaning of "wherefore".
Some lines from Shakespeare have seeped into our everyday speech in altered form so that we do not recognize them as Shakespeare quotations any more, such as "there's method in his madness" ("Though this be madness, yet there's method in't"-Hamlet), "all that glitters is not gold" ("All that glisters is not gold"-The Merchant of Venice), or "gilding the lily" ("to gild refined gold, to paint the lily"-King John).
