According to Nicholas Rowe in his 1709 'Works of William Shakespear' Shakespeare played the Ghost in Hamlet. Here is a quote straight from the book: It is at this Time, and upon this Accident, that he is said to have made his first Acquaintance in the Play-house. He was receiv'd into the Company then in being, at first in a very mean Rank; But his admirable Wit, and the natural Turn of it to the Stage, soon distinguish'd him, if not as an extraordinary Actor, yet as an excellent Writer. His Name is Printed, as the Custom was in those Times, amongst those of the other Players, before some old Plays, but without any particular Account of what sort of Parts he us'd to play; and tho' I have inquir'd, I could never meet with any further Account of him this way, than that the top of his Performance was the Ghost in his own Hamlet.

A actor or Shakespeare said it 1st in a play called Hamlet by a actor playing Hamlet.
One of the characters in the play Hamlet is called the "First Player", which means he is an actor. He is the "first" player because he is the leader of the actors who have come to visit Elsinore.
We don't know exactly which parts Shakespeare played as an actor. If he played the Ghost in Hamlet, as he is supposed to have done, he must have said, "Murder most foul, as in the best it is." among other things.If you really mean which of Shakespeare's quotations he wrote, the answer is of course all of them.If you want a list of quotations, it's pointless. "To be or not to be" is a quotation; so is "To be or not to be; that is the question"; so is "That is the question"; so is "That is the question; whether 'tis nobler in the mind"; and so is "nobler in the mind". They are all quotations from the same speech in Act 3 Scene 1 of Hamlet. And you can do the same sort of thing with any speech anywhere in any of the plays.
Hamlet: My father! Methinks I see my father! Horatio: Where, my lord? Hamlet: In my mind's eye, Horatio.
The context demands that Hamlet is using conscience in the French sense of "consciousness" ,"awareness". It is the anticipation of death - or of its possible sequel in an afterlife that Christianity would have us believe highly unpleasant for those committing the sin of suicide - that makes us shy away from this "consummation devoutly to be wished".
There are three clues as to parts Shakespeare played as an actor. He is listed in the cast list of Jonson's plays Every Man in his Humour and Sejanus. A contemporary of his said that Shakespeare favoured "kingly roles". A person writing some time after Shakespeare's death said that he played the Ghost in Hamlet. Although this is a later commentary, it is consistent with the idea that he played "kingly roles" so we can be pretty confident (not sure--nobody is ever sure) that he did play that role.
We don't have much information about which roles which actors played in Shakespeare's day. Sometimes the printed copy of a play gives the name of the actor instead of the character, which helps. In one of the quartos of Romeo and Juliet the lines for Peter are marked as being for "Kemp" which tells us that Will Kempe played Peter. Unfortunately, we have no such slipup to help us with Shakespeare's roles. There is a legend that he played the Ghost in Hamlet. A contemporary said that Shakespeare favoured "kingly roles".

One of Shakespeare's contemporaries said he favoured "kingly roles" and there is an old story that he played the Ghost in Hamlet. Could be. It's easy to imagine what other roles he may have played: Henry IV in the Henry IV plays, Gonzalo in The Tempest, The Duke or Lodovico in Othello.
It is "Know Thyself" friom the play 'Hamlet" by Shakespeare
There are only a few references to Shakespeare as an actor, enough to convince us that he must have been one, but not enough to tell us much about his career. He played in two of Ben Jonson's plays. A contemporary, John Davies of Hereford, said in 1610 that Shakespeare "plaid some kingly parts" and about a hundred years later a man called Rowe said that he played the Ghost in Hamlet, and that this was a famous role. Maybe he played that part, but he was not famous enough for it for anyone to mention it at the time.
There is an old 18th century rumour that he played the part of the Ghost in Hamlet. It's possible; a contemporary of his said he played "kingly parts" so it was either the ghost or Claudius.
Not Hamlet. It doesn't come from Shakespeare. It is a song by Jackie Lomax.
A actor or Shakespeare said it 1st in a play called Hamlet by a actor playing Hamlet.
This line is from William Shakespeare's play "Hamlet." It is spoken by the character Horatio as he describes the appearance of Prince Hamlet after encountering his father's ghost.
Ophelia, in Shakespeare's Hamlet, Act 3 Scene 1
Shakespeare only speaks in his own voice in his poetry. In the plays, what is being said is said by a character. Nevertheless, although this is Hamlet talking, not Shakespeare, "There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio, than are dreamt of in your philosophy" fits the bill.
