“To Thine Own Self Be True” from Shakespeare’s “Hamlet.”

Polonius, has a long-winded farewell to his son, in which he summarizes, “To thine own self be true, and it must follow, as the night the day, thou canst not then be false to any man.”

I’m pretty sure “to thine own self be true” is from Hamlet by Shakespeare
