Advice

Famous quotes containing the word advice:

    “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)

    “Think of submitting our measure to the advice of politicians! I would as soon submit the subject of the equality of a goose to a fox.”
    —Anna Howard Shaw (1847–1919)

    “I’ve been asked to give some words of advice for young women entering library/information science education. Does anyone ever take advice? The advice we give is usually what we would do or would have done if we had the chance, and the advice that’s taken, if ever, is often what we wanted to hear in the first place.”
    —Phyllis Dain (b. 1930)
