Advice is always awesome because it never makes any sense when you compare it all together. It always contradicts other advice. I love advice.

Harper Reed

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.

Al Franken

Be warned against all 'good' advice because 'good' advice is necessarily 'safe' advice, and though it will undoubtedly follow a sane pattern, it will very likely lead one into total sterility--one of the crushing problems of our time.

Jules Feiffer

. . . if you can tell the difference between good advice and bad advice, you don't need advice.

Laurence J. Peter

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

Mr. T

It is sometimes a point of as much cleverness to know to make good use of advice from others as to be able give good advice to oneself.

Francois de La Rochefoucauld

It's good advice, but I expect it will be hard to follow; good advice is apt to be, I think.

Lucy Maud Montgomery

Take good advice, make sure it is good advice, then do it your way.

Vidal Sassoon

I've never been good at giving advice. The only advice I ever gave people was to find something that you are passionate about. But I hate giving advice, because, who am I? I'm just a girl.

Gwen Stefani

Philosophy is good advice, and no one gives good advice at the top of his lungs.

Seneca the Younger

I treat people who write me the way my friends and I all treat each other when we go to each other for advice, which is sometimes with supreme cruelty. I think that's what helps the advice sink in. If somebody comes at you with both barrels, the first shot opens your head, and the second shot allows the advice to get lodged inside.

Dan Savage

The condition of sleep is profoundly contradictory. It is a precious good... but it is a good like none other, because to obtain it, one must seemingly give up the imperative to have it.

Emily Martin

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.

Scott Berkun

The best advice I can give is to ignore advice. Life is too short to be distracted by the opinions of others.

Russell Edson

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.

Tao Lin

What I'm interested in watching is to make sure that they give the right advice now to the contestants who are going forward because, you know, it's one thing just to criticize but you've got to also give, you know, good advice which is going to help them. Overall, I think they're a good panel.
