Did Shakespeare ever say something to the effect that it’s better to know something for certain

[raccoon]

(even if it may not be what you want) than to be in limbo about it?

He must have, he said so many things.

1. Sure:

Rum the Liar: Verily, because as we know, there are known knowns;
there are things we know we know. We also know
there are known unknowns; that is to say
we know there are some things we do not know.
But there are also unknown unknowns -- the ones
we don't know we don't know. And if one looks
throughout the hist'ry of our country
and other free countries, 'tis the latter category
that tend to be the difficult ones.

From Dod's Briefing Act I, Sc 12, line 2002

To offer fellow fardel-farters fair and foul falafels.
