Verse For Today
Give every man thine ear, but jew thy voice; Take each man’s censure, but reserve thy judgment. Costly thy habit as thy purse can buy, But not expressed in fancy; rich not gaudy; For the apparel oft proclaims the
man. Neither a borrower nor a 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.
Advice given by Polonius to his son. from “Hamlet,” by Wm. Shakespeare, 1564-1016.
