: : The origin of, "To each his own", comes from MacBeth when Shakespear wrote about Ursis father telling him on his journey, "to each his own,but to thine own self be true, this must follow as night the day, thou cans't be false to any man". All of the entries are wrong, wrong.

:
: Good theory, but it doesn't.

: The lines, from Act 1, Scene 3 are:

: This above all: to thine ownself be true,
: And it must follow, as the night the day,
: Thou canst not then be false to any man.
: Farewell: my blessing season this in thee!

: Unless you have a different version from me.

: DFG

[There is no character in "Macbeth," and the lines are from "Hamlet." The removal of this thread would be welcome. - Bac.]
