Shakespearean English

I randomly choose words, expressions, phrasal verbs, etc. from my flash cards and my task is to incorporate them into meaningful sentence/s or a short story.

Random words; THE CLOTHES MAKETH THE MAN, CUT IT/THINGS FINE

I know you spend a lot of time piking up a tie and checking your suit before the meetings, and always say 'The clothes maketh the man.', but that doesn't mean you should cut preparation important details for the negotiation fine.
Remember, 'The clothes maketh the man.’, but 'You will bid farewelled by your wisdom.'

Do I manage wrote the last sentence in a Shakespeare's writing style, because, in my mind, only native English speakers can feel the beauty of his language.

', bBut that doesn't mean you should cut preparationcan cut it fine and neglect important details for the negotiation fine.

I'm not familiar with "cut it fine" as it's a British expression, but reading online it looks like you can only cut "it" and not other things.

Remember, 'The "clothes maketh the man.’," but 'Y"you will bid farewelled by to your wisdom."

I made this grammatically correct but it doesn't really follow the story. how about "Remember, 'clothes maketh the man,' but 'the less there is of the man, the more need of the clothes?'"

Thanks.
Your story has their own meaning and well worth being another variation of Shakespeare's style.
