These few perceptants in thy memory look thou
character. Give they thoughts no tongue, not any
unproportion'd thought his act. Be thou familiar,
but by no means vulgar. Those friends thou hast,
and their adoption tried, grapple them to thy soul
with hoops of steel; but not dull thy palm with
entertainment of each new-hatch'd, unfledg'd
courage. Beware of entrance to quarrel; but
being in, bear't that th' opposed may beware of
thee. Give every man thy ear, but few thy voice; take
every man's censure, but reserve thy judgement.
Costly thy habit as thy purse can buy, but not
express'd in fancy; rich, not gaudy; for the apparel oft
proclaims the man; and they in franceof the best rank
and station are of a mos selec and generous choice
in that. Neither a borrowr nor lender be; for loan oft
loses both itself and friend, and borrowing dulls the
edge of husbandry. This above all - To thine own self be true.
and it must follow, as the night the day, thou canst
not then be false to any man.
- Polonius in Hamlet, Prince of Denmark, by William Shakespeare
