What are the modern cliches in this passage?

Question

Yet here, Laertes? Aboard, aboard, for shame! The wind sits in the shoulder of your sail, And you are stay'd for. There, my blessing with thee! And these few precepts in thy memory Look thou character. Give thy thoughts no tongue, Nor any jnproportion'd thought his act. Be thou familiar, but by no means vulgar: Those friends thou hast, and their adoption tried, Grapple them unto thy soul with hoops of steel, But do not dull thy palm with entertainment Of each new-hatch'd, unfledg'd courage. Beware Of entrance to a quarrel, but being in, Bear't that th' opposed may beware of thee. give every man thy ear, but few thy voice, Take each man's censure, but reserve thy judgment. Costly thy habit as thy purse can buy, But not express'd in fancy, rich, not gaudy, For the apparel oft proclaims the man, And they in France of the best rank and station Are of a most select and generous chief in that. Neither a borrower nor a lender be, For loan oft loses both itself and friend, And borrowing

dulleth th' edge of husbandry. 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. Farewell, my blessing season this in thee!

I know that it is full of cliches. I don't know what they are.

Answer 1

Good Lord. Is it any wonder Laertes went abroad to school? I'd wanna get away from that tedious nagging bore of a father too!

Answer 2

What everyday expressions do you see? To thine own self be true? Costly thy habit as they purse can buy. Give thy thoughts no tongue -- it is full of cliches - just dig in. Pax - C.

Answer 3

"Think before you speak." "Be true to yourself." There are a lot of them.
