<P> Polonius 's most famous lines are found in Act 1 Scene 3 ( `` Neither a borrower nor a lender be '' ; `` To thine own self be true '' ) and Act 2 Scene 2 ( `` Brevity is the soul of wit '' ; and `` Though this be madness , yet there is method i n't '' ) while others have become paraphrased aphorisms ( `` Clothes make the man '' ; `` Old friends are the best friends '' ) . Also , the line he speaks when he is killed by Hamlet in Act 3 scene 4 ( `` O , I am slain ! '' ) has been subject to much parody and ridicule due to its relative obviousness . </P>
