There, my blessing with thee!
And these precepts in thy memory.
Look thou character,give thy thought no tongue,
Nor any unproportioned thought his act.
Be thou familiar, but by no means vulgar.
The friends thou hast, and their adoption tried,
Grapple them to thy soul with hoofs of steel;
But do not dull thy palm with entertainment
Of each new-hatched unfledged comrade, Beware
Of entrance to a quarrel, but being in ,
Bear't that the opposed may beware of thee.
Give everyman thy ear, but few thy voice;
Take each man's censure, but reserve thy judgement.
Costly thy habit as thy purse can buy
But not expressed in fancy; rich, not gaudy;
For the apparel oft proclaims then man.
And thy in France of best rank and station
And most select and generous, chief in that.
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.
Farewell! my blessing season this in thee.
-Shakespeare
