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

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

Laurence J. Peter

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

Never give anyone the advice to buy or sell shares, because the most benevolent price of advice can turn out badly.

Francois de La Rochefoucauld

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

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

There is nothing so depressing as good advice, and I will be pleased if you do not inflict it upon me. Frankly, I am shocked at you. You must know this, surely? Some years ago I suffered such an offensively gratuitous piece of good advice that I was depressed for six months afterward. It was a very close call - I almost never recovered.

Gregory David Roberts

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

There's no such thing as advice to the lovelorn. If they took advice, they wouldn't be lovelorn. You see, advice and lovelorn don't go together. Because advice makes love sound like some sort of cognitive activity, but we know that it isn't. We all know that it's some sort of horrible chemical reaction over which we have absolutely no control. And that's why advice doesn't work.

Fran Lebowitz

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

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.

Hannah Hart

Shun death, is my advice.

Robert Browning

Advice, First Law of: The correct advice to give is the advice that is desired.

Paul Dickson

As far as advice goes, an ex-father in law of mine once gave me the best advice I ever heard. He said, "Take my advice and do what you want to." So with that, go on.
