Advice Quotes

The "advice" quotations at www.quotationspage.com contain sarcastic items, melancholy items, and serious items. Here are the few that speak to me about advice, from the point of view of the giver of advice.

People who ask our advice almost never take it. Yet we should never refuse to give it, upon request, for it often helps us to see our own way more clearly.
Brendan Francis

In giving advice, seek to help, not please, your friend.

Solon - Greek lawgiver & politician in Athens (638 BC - 559 BC)

The true secret of giving advice is, after you have honestly given it, to be perfectly indifferent whether it is taken or not, and never persist in trying to set people right.
Hannah Whitall Smith, 1902
