Hamlet meatty Quote 1.

“Give thy thoughts no tongue,
Nor any unproportion’d thought his act.
Be thou familiar, but by no means vulgar.
Those friends thou hast, and their adoption tried,
Grapple them unto thy soul with hoops of steel;
But do not dull thy palm with entertainment
Of each new-hatch’d, unfledg’d comrade. Beware
Of entrance to a quarrel; but, being in,
Bear’t that the opposed may beware of thee.
Give every man thine 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;
And they in France of the best rank and station
Are 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.”

Here Polonius is giving his son, Laertes advice before he goes off to Paris. Basically Polonius is giving Laertes great advice, I guess you could say it his father-daughter son moment with Laertes. Although this is great advice it is kind of cheesy but oh well.
At some point in our lives we have all received advice from someone we love, whether we want to listen or not. Advice is very important to me because whenever I am confused or need help in life I ask people for advice on what I should do.
The advice Polonius gives to his son is very fatherly and great and all but as we learn that Polonius is a hypocrite. This makes his advice less meaningful to me, just as if someone were to give me advice and then go do the exact opposite of what they just told me.
This advice shows that Shakespeare is “timeless”, the advice that Polonius gives is still relevant today in out times.
