Advice Quotes
Advice is what we ask for when we already know the answer but wish we didn't.
Erica Jong
The best advice is this: Don't take advice and don't give advice.
Unknown
We should be careful and discriminating in all the advice we give. We should be especially careful in giving advice that we would not think of following ourselves. Most of all, we ought to avoid giving counsel which we don't follow when it damages those who take us at our word.
Adlai Stevenson
When a man comes to me for advice, I find out the kind of advice he wants, and I give it to him.
Henry Wheeler Shaw
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

Aeschylus

Aesop
People who ask our advice almost never take it. Yet we should never refuse to give it, upon request, for it often helps us to see our own way more clearly
Behan, Brendan Francis
The advice of friends must be received with a judicious reserve; we must not give ourselves up to it and follow it blindly, whether right or wrong
Charron, Pierre
The worst men often give the best advice.

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
