Oscar Wilde on advice

True friends stab you in the front.

Patriotism is the virtue of the vicious.

We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars.

Accept good advice gracefully⁠—as long as it doesn’t interfere with what you intended to do in the first place.

Gene Brown

Never take anything for granted.

Benjamin Disraeli1804–1881Speech at Salthill (5 October 1864)

We must be very careful when we give advice to younger people: sometimes they follow it!
