Advice

• "Advice to writers: Sometimes you just have to stop writing. Even before you begin." - Stanislaw J. Lec, Unkempt Thoughts

• "Good advice is something a man gives when he is too old to set a bad example." - Francois de La Rouchefoucauld

• "In giving advice seek to help, not to please, your friend." - Solon

• "Never give advice - a wise man won't need it, a fool won't heed it."

• "Some people like my advice so much that they frame it upon the wall instead of using it." - Gordon R. Dickson

• "The true secret of giving advice is, after you have honestly given it, to be perfectly indifferent whether it is taken or not, and never persist in trying to set people right." - Hannah Whitall Smith

• "When we honestly ask ourselves which person in our lives mean the most to us, we often find that it is those who, instead of giving advice, solutions, or cures, have chosen rather to share our pain and touch our wounds with a warm and tender hand. The friend who can be silent with us in a moment of despair or confusion, who can stay with us in an hour of grief and bereavement, who can tolerate not knowing, not curing, not healing and face with us the reality of our powerlessness, that is a friend who cares." - Henri Nouwen
