“In giving advice seek to help, not to please, your friend.”

“Please give me some good advice in your next letter. I promise not to follow it. (in a letter written while she was in college)”

“Sometimes it helps to scold yourself, to give yourself advice.”

“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.”

“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.”

“Please take my advice, please take my advice,
Open up the tired eyes,
Open up the tired eyes.”

“People think they follow advice but they don't. Humans are only capable of receiving information. They create their own advice. If you seek to influence someone, don't waste time giving advice. You can change only what people know, not what they do.”

“I think, to be what you are, don't take advice from other people. Find your advice in your heart. Yes, find your advice in your heart. It's yours and you keep it. And if you think it's helpful to other people… then share it. I think the things we share are very important.”

“If you only take one piece of advice from this OK, please sincerely – don’t be an asshole your whole life.”

“If your intentions are pure, I'm seeking a friend for the end of the world.”
