Advice to a young man Hamlet Act1 Scene 3 Polonius to Laertes
Give thy thoughts no tongue, Nor any unproportioned 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 do not dull thy palm with entertainment | |||||||||||||
| Of each new-hatch’d, unfledged comrade. Beware | |||||||||||||
| Of entrance to a quarrel, but being in, | |||||||||||||
| Bear’t that the opposed may beware of thee. | |||||||||||||
| Give every man thy ear, but few thy voice; | |||||||||||||
| Take each man’s censure, but reserve thy judgment. | |||||||||||||
| Costly thy habit as thy purse can buy, | |||||||||||||
| But not express’d in fancy; rich, not gaudy;
For the apparel oft proclaims the man.
