Detailed explanation-1: -Neither a borrower, nor a lender be. For loan oft loses both itself and friend. And borrower dulls the edge of husbandry.” This portion from William Shakespeare’s ‘Polonius advises Laertes’ is relevant even today. It is a piece of advice to people who often borrow money and forget to pay.
Detailed explanation-2: -Managing money from Hamlet In this line from Hamlet, Polonius gives his son Laertes advice on managing money. He starts off by telling him never to lend or borrow money from friends. You will often end up losing the money and the friend in doing so.
Detailed explanation-3: -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-4: -Polonius, within these lines, is suggesting that his son should be like him and not “borrow” or lend money because: loan oft loses both itself and friend, and borrowing dulls the edge of husbandry.
