Old people love to give good advice; it compensates them for their inability to set a bad example.
There are as many forms of advice as there are colors of the rainbow. Remember that good advice can come from bad people and bad advice from good people. The important thing about advice is that it is simply that. Advice.
Good advice is something a man gives when he is too old to set a bad example.
I have ever deemed it more honorable and more profitable, too, to set a good example than to follow a bad one.
I try not to give too much advice, really, because people have to do their things their way. I got lots of advice when I was young, and I ignored most of it - the good and the bad.
There is nothing more hateful than bad advice.
It seems that bad advice that's fun will always be better known than than good advice that's dull-no matter how useless that fun advice is.
Old people are fond of giving good advice; it consoles them for no longer being capable of setting a bad example.
Oftentimes, we get advice from people who are not equipped to give it, and it does more harm than good.
I don't have to worry about setting a good example every day for the purpose of setting an example for Scientology. We should all set a good example in life, but this was with an agenda. Now it's about accepting what is. I have no agenda other than to enjoy my life and enjoy my time with people, for however long it goes...Because I was never really able to enjoy my life. I always had to go to Scientology or give my money to Scientology or give my time to Scientology, and now I'm just able to enjoy what is in my life. I don't have anywhere to get to. This is it.
People ask what gives me the authority to give advice? I say, First of all, I don't give advice. Dr Phil gives advice. Mr T helps people. I motivate them, I inspire them, I give them hope, and I plant the seed so they can feel good about themselves
A good man giving bad advice is more dangerous than a nasty man giving bad advice.
A good example is more irritating than a bad one.
The idea of 'advice,' in terms of telling people advice or asking people for advice, has become not comprehensible to me, to a certain degree, due to feeling, like, for something to be accurately defined as 'good' or 'bad,' I would want to know the context, goal, perspective for it.
To profit from good advice requires more wisdom than to give it.
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.
