AGATHA CHRISTIE:

I shall tell you a great secret my friend. Do not wait for the last
judgement, it takes place every day.

13th century
ANNA QUINDLEN:
Success
BILL COSBY:
A word to the wise ain't necessary, it's the stupid ones who need
the advice.
CAROLYN WELLS:
CHARLES A. BEARD:
ERICA JONG:
Advice is what we ask for when we already know the answer but
wish we didn't.
He that gives good advice, builds with one hand; he that gives
good counsel and example, builds with both; but he that gives
good admonition and bad example, builds with one hand and pulls
down with the other.
G. K. CHESTERTON:
GEORG C. LICHTENBERG:
GEORGE BURNS:
Too bad that all the people who really know how to run the country
are busy driving taxi cabs and cutting hair.
GLORIA STEINEM:
GRACIÁN:
HARRY S TRUMAN:
I have found the best way to give advice to your children is to find
out what they want and then advise them to do it.
HEINRICH HEINE:
HENRI NOUWEN:
HORACE:
JAMES CALLAGHAN:
LILLIAN HELLMAN:
When women are the advisers, the lords of creation don't take the
advice till they have persuaded themselves that it is just what they
intended to do; then they act upon it, and if it succeeds, they give
the weaker vessel half the credit of it; if it fails, they generously
give her the whole.

MARCUS AURELIUS:
MARGARET FULLER:
NELSON ALGREN:
OSCAR WILDE:
The only thing to do with good advice is pass it on. It is never any
use to oneself.
PAMELA GLENCONNER:
PETE SEEGER:
"Do-so" is more important than "say-so."
RABINDRANATH TAGORE:
Write it on your heart that every day is the best day in the year. No
man has learned anything rightly, until he knows that every day is
Doomsday.
Finish each day and be done with it. You have done what you
could; some blunders and absurdities have crept in; forget them as
soon as you can. Tomorrow is a new day; you shall begin it
serenely and with too high a spirit to be encumbered with your old
nonsense.
Whatever you do, you need courage. Whatever course you decide
upon, there is always someone to tell you that you are wrong.
There are always difficulties arising that tempt you to believe your
critics are right. To map out a course of action and follow it to an
end requires some of the same courage that a soldier needs. Peace
has its victories, but it takes brave men and women to win them.

ROBERT FROST:
SAMUEL SMILES:
THOMAS FULLER:
THOMAS JEFFERSON:
A Decalogue of Canons for observation in practical life:
1. Never put off until tomorrow what you can do today.
2. Never trouble another for what you can do yourself.
3. Never spend your money before you have it.
4. Never buy what you do not want, because it is cheap; it will be
dear to you.
5. Pride costs us more than hunger, thirst, and cold.
6. We never repent of having eaten too little.
7. Nothing is troublesome that we do willingly.
8. How much pain have cost us the evils which never have
happened.
9. Take things always by their smooth handle.
10. When angry, count ten, before you speak; if very angry, an
hundred.
(letter to Thomas Jefferson Smith, 1825)
THOMAS JEFFERSON:
Take care that you never spell a word wrong. Always before you
write a word, consider how it is spelled, and, if you do not
remember, turn to a dictionary. It produces great praise to a lady to
spell well.
W. SOMERSET MAUGHAM:
WOODY GUTHRIE:
Take it easy -- but take it.
