William Shakespeare, "Hamlet", Act 1 scene 2
Beware
Of entrance to a quarrel; but being in,
Bear't that the opposed may beware of thee.
Give every man thy 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.

For loan oft loses both itself and friend,
And borrowing dulls the edge of husbandry.

And it must follow, as the night the day,
Thou canst not then be false to any man.
