One of my favorite Shakespeare lines is Hamlet's reply to Polonius remark My lord, I will use them according to their desert:
HAMLET God’s bodikins, man, much better; use every man after his desert, and who should ’scape whipping? Use them after your own honour and dignity: the less they deserve, the more merit is in your bounty.
