A Quote by Francois de La Rochefoucauld

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 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.
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.
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.
There's a saying - "Write what you know." It's bad advice if you take it as an unbreakable rule, but good advice if you use it as a foundation.
Advice is a peculiar commodity. Those who have the capacity to give good advice generally have too much sense to waste their time trying to get rid of it.
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.
The only thing to do with good advice is to pass it on. It is never of any use to oneself.
Maybe I think too highly of myself, but I think maybe sometimes I can give some good advice - sometimes bad advice, I'm sure - and I think that's a way of giving back.
Take good advice, make sure it is good advice, then do it your way.
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
I always pass on good advice. It is the only thing to do with it. It is never of any use to oneself.
It is always a silly thing to give advice, but to give good advice is absolutely fatal.
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.
Surround yourself with people that you know will take care of you. It's not so much a mistake advice - it's just advice advice.
I don't like to give out advice. I make suggestions when I get to know somebody a little bit, but I don't know about advice.
. . . if you can tell the difference between good advice and bad advice, you don't need advice.
In golf, advice is not a big thing. If you don't have the ability, you won't get anywhere no matter how much advice you get. The only thing people can suggest that matters is, be a good person and treat people respectfully. But advice on your game doesn't mean much to me.
