Yes.
Polonius gives extremely wise advice to his son.
He then proceeds to meddle in his children's lives in the most unpleasant fashion, hawking his daughter's sexuality in an attempt to raise his social standing. He is a sycophant and a dissembler, who dies while hiding behind a curtain, eavesdropping on a private conversation between a mother and her son.
Still, his speech expressed some pleasant-sounding sentiments.
