About This Quote
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. The quote by William Shakespeare shows that truth is to be found in oneself. That is why everyone wants to find themselves. If you are true to yourself, there is no one else who can make you feel like a fool. This means that you should only ever do things that make you happy and you should never do things that will make other people unhappy.
