Advice is like castor oil, easy enough to give but dreadful uneasy to take. - Josh Billings
I’ve learned that you can’t expect your children to listen to your advice and ignore your example. - 51-year-old’s discovery
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 anyone. 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. - Baltasar Gracián
