Don't give advice unless you're asked. — © Amy Alcott
Don't give advice unless you're asked.
I don't give my advice unless it's asked for.
Before you give advice, that is to say advice which you have not been asked to give, it is well to put to yourself two questions - namely, what is your motive for giving it, and what is it likely to be worth? If these questions were always asked, and honestly answered, there would be less advice given.

When asked to give advice, I do of course give it, because I give whatever I am asked to give.
I think the simplest advice I could give would be to wait until asked before giving advice.
I don't throw out advice unless I am asked.
Never follow anyone else’s path, unless you’re in the woods and you’re lost and you see a path and by all means you should follow that. Don’t give advice, it will come back and bite you in the ass. Don’t take anyone’s advice. So my advice to you is to be true to yourself and everything will be fine.

The only advice I can give to aspiring writers is don't do it unless you're willing to give your whole life to it. Red wine and garlic also helps.

Give not advice without being asked, and when desired, do it briefly.
I try not to give advice unless people ask me.
Never give advice to your children unless you have it in writing and notarized.
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
