God has given you one face, and you make yourself another

God has given you one face, and you make yourself another

In William Shakespeare's play Hamlet, the character Polonius famously advises his son Laertes, "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." This sentiment speaks to the idea that one should always remain true to oneself and not put on a false facade for others. However, the quote "God has given you one face, and you make yourself another" can be seen as a counterpoint to Polonius' advice.
