Advice

Famous quotes containing the word advice:

    Understand that your pain will never equal the injustice that is visited upon man, and, finally, listen to my advice. I do owe you advice since I just killed your husband.
    Pray to your God that he make you like stone.
    Albert Camus 1913–9160, French-Algerian novelist, dramatist, philosopher. Gallimard (1958)

    I’m not in the speechmaking business nowadays. I’m following the advice of an old mountain woman who said: ‘When I walks, I walk slowly. When I sits, I sits loosely. And when I feel a worry coming on, I just go to sleep.’
    Lyndon Baines Johnson (1908–1973)

    After I discovered the real life of mothers bore little resemblance to the plot outlined in most of the books and articles I’d read, I started relying on the expert advice of other mothers—especially those with sons a few years older than mine. This great body of knowledge is essentially an oral history, because anyone engaged in motherhood on a daily basis has no time to write an advice book about it.
    Mary Kay Blakely (20th century)
