They that will not be counseled, cannot be helped. If you do not hear reason she will rap you on the knuckles.

No man is so foolish but he may sometimes give another good counsel, and no man so wise that he may not easily err if he takes no other counsel than his own. He that is taught only by himself has a fool for a master.

Nothing is less sincere than our mode of asking and giving advice. He who asks seems to have a deference for the opinion of his friend, while he only aims to get approval of his own and make his friend responsible for his action. And he who gives advice repays the confidence supposed to be placed in him by a seemingly disinterested zeal, while he seldom means anything by his advice but his own interest or reputation.

Aim above morality. Be not simply good, be good for something.

One cool judgment is worth a thousand hasty councils. The thing is to supply light and not heat

Advice is the only commodity on the market where the supply always exceeds the demand.

Successful men follow the same advice they prescribe for others.

He who would pass his declining years with honor and comfort, should, when young, consider that he may one day become old, and remember when he is old, that he has once been young.

There are people whose watch stops at a certain hour and who remain permanently at that age.

To me - old age is always ten years older than I am.
