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.
For such kind of borrowing as this, if it be not bettered by the borrower, among good authors is accounted Plagiarè.
Who goeth a borrowing
Goeth a sorrowing.
He that goes a borrowing goes a sorrowing.
