| "Advice to those about to build a Water-garden - DON"T. Not that the
Water-garden is not a joy and a glory; but that it is cruelly hard to keep
in order and control unless you are a master of millions and of broad ample
acres of pool and pond. Water, like fire, is a good servant, perhaps, but
is painfully liable to develop into a master." | |

R. J. Farrer

|
| "Another piece of advice: when you read proof cross out as many

| "Distrust interested advice." | |
|
Aesop
|
|
| "Do not be inaccessible. None is so perfect that he does not need at
times the advice of others. He is an incorrigible ass who will never
listen to any one. Even the most surpassing intellect should find a place
for friendly counsel. Sovereignty itself must learn to lean. There are
some that are incorrigible simply because they are inaccessible: They fall
to ruin because none dares to extricate them. The highest should have the
door open for friendship; it may prove the gate of help. A friend must be
free to advise, and even to upbraid, without feeling embarrassed." | |

Daniel Greenberg

Barbara De Angelis, PhD

| "Good Advice If your best friend"s feeling tearful, Try not to be too
cheerful. Just let her fill your ear full Of sad tales by the score. And
when she is through, She"ll feel as good as new. Now you"ll be feeling
blue. But that"s what friends are for!" | |

taking it." | |
|
Mary Wortley Montagu

|
| "If I wanted to become a tramp, I would seek information and advice
from the most successful tramp I could find. If I wanted to become a
failure I would seek advice from men who have never succeeded. If I wanted
to succeed in all things, I would look around me for those who are
succeeding, and do as they have done." | |
|
Joseph Marshall Wade
|
|
| "If I were asked to give what I consider the single most useful bit
of advice for all humanity it would be this: Expect trouble as an
inevitable part of life and when it comes, hold your head high, look it
squarely in the eye and say, "I will be bigger than you. You cannot defeat
me."" | |
|
Ann Landers
|
|
| "If you really want to give me advice, do it on a Saturday afternoon

Monday." | |

|
| "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." | |

the name of Christ and to all the world as far as you can reach." | |
