"it means that although some chaos is going on in whatever the situation, someone is planning it, or here was a plan behind it"
The above is incorrect.This is a Shakespeare quote spoken by Polonius to young Hamlet. In this scene Halmet is acting mad and while spurting "insane" words, he succeeds in slipping in insults toward Polonius. He is essentially pointing out that although Hamlet appears mad, he can tell that he was previously mocking him amongst the seemingly insane words. Because it is spoken by Polonius and not Hamlet, there is no intended underlying meaning. It means simply that he acknowledges he's been insulted amidst an "insane" rant. For those of you who wish to take it out of context and bring meaning to it, so be it; however, it's actual meaning is simply this.

Some that have remained the same include: "Truth will out" (The Merchant of Venice) "Send him packing" (Henry IV part I) "What's in a name? That which we call a rose by any other name would smell as sweet" (Romeo and Juliet) However, language has changed significantly over the last 400 years, and some that have been modified over time include: "Give no words but mum" (Henry VI part II) - now Mum's the word "Though this be madness, yet there is method in it" (Hamlet) - now There's method in his madness "This is the short and the long of it" (The Merry Wives of Windsor) - now The long and the short of it "Such stuff as dreams are made on" (The Tempest) - now The stuff that dreams are made of
What was shakespeares most famous quotes?
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).

Is Shakespeare's language still used today?
The answer is yes, but it depends on the person, and the situation. People studying Shakespeare must in fact use his quotes. Many people use Shakespearean quotations without knowing that they are in fact from Shakespeare.
