Some Shakespeare for Your Consideration

Friday, August 31st, 2007

Still Solid advice after 405 years
Be thou familiar, but by no means vulgar. Give every man thy ear, but few thy voice; take each man’s censure, but reserve thy judgment. Neither a borrower nor a lender be; for loan oft loses both itself and friend. And this above all: to thine ownself be true, […]
