"keep your heart with all vigilance, for from it flow the springs of life." proverbs 4:23 (esv)

Combing through Hamlet folios for seminar papers is mind-numbing, but I am always relieved to stumble over this cute moment.  Shakespeare is all tender and adorable sometimes, tucked away between the gory death and crippling madness and curses on houses.  And the gory, gory death.
So anyway. Here's to a fresh new (less surreal) week!

Polonius [to Laertes] -
                             "There -- my blessing to thee!
And these few precepts in thy memory
Look thou character. 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 courage. Beware
Of entrance to a quarrel, but being in,
Bear't that th' opposed may beware of thee.
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 borrowing dulleth [th'] 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!"

Hamlet, I.iii.57-81
