About the quote

William Shakespeare (1564-1616) is widely recognised as the greatest playwright of the English language, shaping the formation of Modern English. Shakespeare is well known for presenting human nature with vivid depth, lively realism and great wit. His plays are a treasure-trove of what it means to be human, still very pertinent today.

This quote, spoken by Polonius in Act I Scene 3 of Hamlet, reminds us the importance of being true to oneself, living according to your own true values and nature. In doing so, says Polonius, one will not be false toward others.
Hamlet explores this theme further in Act III Scene 1 with the well-known quote from Hamlet himself, ‘To be or not to be—that is the question’. While Polonius’ statement is a noble and important principle, Hamlet questions whether he should act true to himself when faced with life’s challenges.

Being true to oneself can be difficult to do, but the rewards of this principle in action are the growth and development of one’s true nature and a deepening alignment with one’s true purpose. Living in this way is a key to a satisfying and meaningful life.
