It may appear blasphemous but it could be argued that the works of Shakespeare is similar to the bible: for every reading to support your viewpoint, there is an opposing statement just several paragraphs away (or less!!)
I am reminded of two such Shakespearean quotes when following some of the latest developments in the heavily emphasised 'credit crunch'. Maybe it was the lazy, hazy days of the summer 'silly season' that brought about such a focus but I am waiting the morning where I walk into my local newsagents and see a certain red-top scream "Subprime ate my Hamster". Regardless of the reasoning for bringing it to the public conscious (perhaps it is of genuine concern), it is to the bard that one can turn to in order to uphold their view:
"Neither a borrower nor lender be, for loan oft loses both itself and friend, and borrowing dulls the edge of husbandry..."
