Familiar Quotations

Act 1 — Act i. Sc. 3.

Reading edition

Be thou familiar, but by no means vulgar. The friends thou hast, and their adoption tried Grapple them to thy soul with hooks of steel.

Give every man thy ear, but few thy voice. Costly thy habit as thy purse can buy, But not expressed in fancy; rich, not gaudy; For the apparel oft proclaims the man.

Neither a borrower nor a lender be.

Explore with AITake your curiosity a little further.
