“Neither a lender or borrower be for loan oft loses both itself and friend.”

Polonius says this to Laertes and Ophelia as they are walking down the street. He is giving his advice to his son his who is going away for a while.

Polonius is saying by this that lending and borrowing aren’t ever very smart things to do because friends can be easily lost that way. This quote is very true today because I think we could prevent many arguments from happening if we never borrowed or lent things. Especially because something that is special to you may not be special to the person you’re lending it to, so they’re not going to take care of it like you would. I also think it’s very easy to be forgetful of something that’s not our own.
