A Quote by Samuel Johnson

Advice is seldom welcome. Those who need it most, like it least. — © Samuel Johnson
Advice is seldom welcome. Those who need it most, like it least.
Advice is seldom welcome, and those who need it the most, like it the least.
Advice is seldom welcome; and those who want it the most always like it the least.
Advice is seldom welcome; and those who want it the most always want it the least.
Truth will do well enough if left to shift for herself. She seldom has received much aid from the power of great men to whom she is rarely known and seldom welcome. She has no need of force to procure entrance into the minds of men.
We shouldn't be undermining Medicare for those who need it most in order to give more tax cuts to those who need them least.
We need a more holistic approach in which we take account of society's most vulnerable sectors. We shouldn't just do broad averaging of country statistics but rather we need to disaggregate the data to determine where the resources are most needed. In most cases, it's usually the reverse: those who are most marginalized - minorities and rural and remote communities - get the least attention and money.
I imagine that thinking is the great desideratum of the present age; and the cause of whatever is done amiss may justly be reckoned the general neglect of education in those who need it most, the people of fashion. What can be expected where those who have the most influence have the least sense, and those who are sure to be followed set the worst examples?
I came to the conclusion, that if my advice wouldn't be taken by those who needed it most and was stolen by those who could well afford to pay for it, that I would hereafter give advice only to myself and always sell it to others.
Covetous men need money least, yet they most affect it; but prodigals, who need it most have the least regard for it.
A poet is seldom hard up for advice. The worst part of it all is that sometimes the advice is coming from other poets, and they ought to know better.
Agreeable advice is seldom useful advice.
Those who deserve love the least need it the most.
Sometimes those who need it the most are inclined the least.
Be friendly to everyone. Those who deserve it the least need it the most.
It is by a wise economy of nature that those who suffer without change, and whom no one can help, become uninteresting. Yet so it may happen that those who need sympathy the most often attract it the least.
I love Wren and he knows it.” “Yeah, but he seems like he wouldn’t welcome it.” “Sometimes he doesn’t. But it’s like Cherise says, the hardest ones to love are always the ones who need it most.” (Aimee to Fang)
