Detailed explanation-1: -Polonius admonishes Laertes to keep his thoughts to himself, restrain himself from acting on rash desires, and treat people with familiarity but not with vulgarity.
Detailed explanation-2: -Polonius is telling Laertes to recognize who his true friends are, people who have proven themselves, and treasure them. He warns him, however, to be cautious and suspicious about new people who enter his life; they will not necessarily be of the same caliber as his tried and true associates.
Detailed explanation-3: -He gives fatherly advice to prepare Laertes for the journey to France. Besides telling him to speak less and listen more, he asks to dress in an elegant and rich manner, but “not gaudy.” According to Polonius, people in France would first judge him for the way he looks.
Detailed explanation-4: -What is Polonius’ advice to Laertes? He tells Laertus not to say what he is thinking and to think before he acts. He should hold onto his friends and not to be quick to make new friends. Don’t pick fights, but if you are in one, fight well.
