ACTUALLY......

The Bible don'ts say that. Anywhere. At all. That would be a quote from Shakespear. (or however you spell it).

THE BIBLE says to be true to YHVH (G-D) and to be true to His commandments. According to the teachings in the Word of Yahweh, being 'true to yourself' is a form of self worship, and as such, is idolatry. Why? because in being true to yourself istead of YHVH, you are putting yourself over YHVH... and anything put above YHVH is an idol.

To answer your question, to be true to yourself would mean to be loyal only to what you want, and what you think and not about others or about YHVH God.

That quote is not from the Bible; it's from Shakespeare's Hamlet, Act 1, Scene 3, Lines 78-81. Polonius is speaking to his son, Laertes.

"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!"

The line is from Shakespeare (Hamlet I iii): 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.

Francis Bacon expresses the idea also, in Of Wisdom for a Man's Self: Be so true to thyself, as thou be not false to others.
