Who said, "Neither a borrower nor a lender be"?

William Shakespeare
Mark Twain
Charles Dickens
Ernest Hemingway

The correct answer is: William Shakespeare

"Neither a borrower nor a lender be" is a famous quote from William Shakespeare's play, Hamlet. The quote is spoken by Polonius to his son Laertes, giving him advice about lending and borrowing money. This quote is not found in the works of Mark Twain, Charles Dickens, or Ernest Hemingway, making options B, C, and D incorrect. It is important to note that while these authors may have included similar themes in their writing, they did not directly write this quote. Therefore, option A is the correct answer.
