To thine own self, be true.



We've all heard this quotation a lot. Not many of us know whence it came.



This is a line from Hamlet -- Shakespeare's play Hamlet. Hamlet was the prince of Denmark and Shakespeare had read a lot about him, enough to be inspired to write a play around this personality. These lines from the play are one of the most beautiful lines ever written on the subject of building a strong character.



I have explained each line in the reading.
