I never had a man come to me for advice yet, but what I soon discovered that he thought more of his own opinion than he did of mine.
Josh Billings
It is easy when we are in prosperity to give advice to the afflicted.
Aeschylus
Advice to aspiring models: Believe in yourself. Listen to the photographers you work with, and try to be professional at all time.
Alessandra Corine Ambrosio
Minds get tired like bodies. When you feel that your; mind is tired, then invigorate it with sober advice.
Ali bin Abu-Talib
One tortured soul I know who suffers from amazingly premature ejaculation -- I mean so premature that he hasn't got any children after eleven years of marriage -- was told by the priest that it was probably a blessing in disguise. What a piece of advice to give to a poor sod who comes off at the sound of his wife's car in the drive.
Tom Baker
The worst men often give the best advice.
Philip James Bailey
It was, perhaps, one of those cases in which advice is good or bad only as the event decides.
Jane Austen
My further advice on your relations to women is based upon that other motto of chivalry, "Serve all, love one."
Honor de Balzac
A thought is an upshot of the desire. When someone thinks about what he wants, he does not think of something undesirable. For example, a person never thinks about the day of his death. On the contrary, he will always contemplate his perpetuity, for this is his desire. Thus, one always thinks of what is desirable (...) It turns out that thought serves desire, and desire is the self of the person. Now, there is a great self, or a small self. A great self dominates the small selves. He who is a small self has no dominion whatsoever, and the advice is to magnify the self through the diligence of the thought on the desire, since it grows to the extent that one thinks of it.
Yehuda Ashlag
It is easy when we are in prosperity to give advice to the afflicted.
Aeschylus
One, who seeks advice learns to realize his mistakes.
Ali bin Abu-Talib
One, who is willful and conceited will suffer losses and calamities and one who seeks advice can secure advan- tages of many counsels.
Ali bin Abu-Talib
You have been shown, if you only care to see; you have been advised if you care to take advantage of advice; you have been told if you care to listen to good counsels.
Ali bin Abu-Talib
Imam Ali was following a funeral and as it was passing along a road, somebody laughed loudly ( a sign of discourtesy and lack of manner ). Hearing this laugh, Imam Ali remarked, " Some of us feel that death is meant for everybody except themselves or it is destined to others and not to themselves or those whom we see dying around us are only travelers going on a journey and will come back to us. It is a sad sight to see that in one moment we commit them to earth and in the next we take hold of the things left by them as if we are going to remain permanently in this world after them. The fact is that we forget sensible advice given to us and become victim of every calamity.
Ali bin Abu-Talib
