Advice Quotes

Advice is a dangerous gift, even from the wise to the wise, and all courses may run ill. ~ The Fellowship of the Ring by J. R. R. Tolkien In all the thousands of times I have asked other people for advice, I never yet got the advice I wanted. ~ Armadale by Wilkie Collins "A spoken word, Sir Abraham, is often of more value than volumes of written advice." ~ The Warden by Anthony Trollope "Man, or at least criminal man, has lost all enterprise and originality. As to my own little practice, it seems to be degenerating into an agency for recovering lost lead pencils and giving advice to young ladies from boarding-schools." ~ The Adventure of the Copper Beeches by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle "My advice is, never do tomorrow what you can do today. Procrastination is the thief of time." ~ David Copperfield by Charles Dickens "I always pass on good advice. It is the only thing to do with it. It is never of any use to oneself." ~ An Ideal Husband by Oscar Wilde 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. ~ Little Women by Louisa May Alcott
