I talk to myself everyone once in a while. Give myself very good advice. Sometimes I even take it.

Laurell K. Hamilton

The passions seldom give good advice but to the interested and mercenary. Resentment generally suggests bad measures. Second thoughts and good nature will rarely, very rarely, approve the first hints of anger.

Horace Walpole

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

She generally gave herself very good advice, (though she very seldom followed it).

Lewis Carroll

I'm very wary about giving advice. I think it's very dangerous to give advice to people, except if you know them very well.

Omar Sharif

When I am performing, I try to follow the advice I give to my students. This can be very hard - I was never a good student and I find I'm no better when I am the teacher.

Jeff Raz

Advice is very easy to give, and even easier not to follow, so I don't fool with it.

Randy Pausch

We must be very careful when we give advice to younger people; sometimes they follow it!

Edsger Dijkstra

I don't think I'd give advice. That never pays off. That's always a bad idea. If they follow your advice and it doesn't work out, or if they don't follow your advice, somehow you're on the hook for it.

Tracy Letts

Well, I don't give it out very often, but I reject the notion that you have to be a practitioner to give good advice.

Barney Frank

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.

Ellen DeGeneres

Sometimes economists in official positions give bad advice; sometimes they give very, very bad advice; and sometimes they work at the OECD.

Paul Krugman

I have two last pieces of advice. First, being pre-approved for a credit card does not mean you have to apply for it. And lastly, the best career advice I can give you is to get your own TV show. It pays well, the hours are good, and you are famous. And eventually some very nice people will give you a doctorate in fine arts for doing jack squat.

Stephen Colbert

I was very fond of Princess Diana. She used to have me over to lunch to ask my advice. I'd give her good advice, and she'd say: 'I entirely agree. Paul, you're so right.' Then she'd go and do the opposite.

Paul Johnson

It's hard to give advice. There are so many people, how do you give major advice to a group of people, it's very presumptuous.

Vidal Sassoon

Probably the advice I could follow more is the self-love sort of advice. I think, four out of every five days, I'm good at that, but certain situations can trigger self-doubt or cloudiness around how I feel about myself.

Jonathan Van Ness
