    For loan oft loses both itself and friend,

    And it must follow, as the night the day,
    Thou canst not then be false to any man.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    “The little words in the Republic of Letters, like the little folks in a nation, are the most useful and significant.”
