Front: "To Thine Own Self Be True"
Reverse: "Freedom to be me"
Shakespeare has used this phrase in Act-I, Scene-III, lines 78-82 of his play, Hamlet.
Polonius has spoke these words as a token of advice to his son, Laertes, at the time of his departure to Paris. He says:
Polonius:
“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.
Farewell, my blessing + this in thee!”
We carry this slogan into recovery for an affirmation to all because deception of self is often rooted in deception of others.
