People repeat that misquote so casually you’d think it came straight from stone tablets. It didn’t. The Bible never condemns money itself. The original verse, found in 1 Timothy 6:10, warns about something far more human: desire. The difference between money and the love of money shapes how you interpret countless sermons, cultural debates, and personal decisions. A closer look at the authentic phrasing helps you separate cultural sayings from the message preserved in Scripture.

You’ve heard it a thousand times—“To thine own self be true”. This line sounds noble, almost timeless, and it’s printed on graduation cards, embroidered on pillows, and quoted as proof that Shakespeare believed in personal authenticity. But here’s the twist: that line doesn’t come from a sage hero or philosopher. It’s delivered by Polonius, a meddling courtier in Hamlet, giving a rambling, shallow lecture to his son before sending him off to college. In context, it’s less about honesty and more about hypocrisy. Once you see who said it—and how he lived—you may never look at the quote the same way again.
