“To thine own self be true and it must follow as the night the day, thou canst not then be false to any man.”

This is great advice to any one. I can think of so many people who talk about their friends who when they start to hang out with a different group of friends then they act different. This quote shows how when you are yourself then you can’t disappoint anyone when you are his or her friend because you are a constant friend who will act one way with someone and act a different way with someone else. I think that this is one of Polonius’ more profound lines that have shown how it can be applied to anyone at anytime. It was meaningful to Shakespeare at his time and now to others and me now.
