About this quote

This line encourages a balanced approach to living alongside others. It advises universal goodwill, reserving deep trust for a select few, and maintaining strict moral integrity by harming no one. The message combines open-hearted warmth with practical caution, suggesting that we can care for humanity while remaining sensible about who we rely on.

The line is spoken by the Countess of Rousillon as parting advice to her son, Bertram, in William Shakespeare's comedy All's Well That Ends Well, written around 1604. It echoes traditional Renaissance counsel on practical morality.
