Anton Chekhov on advice

Lying is the same as alcoholism. Liars prevaricate even on their deathbeds.

A man who doesn’t drink is not, in my opinion, fully a man.

When an actor has money, he doesn’t send letters but telegrams.

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

I always pass on good advice. It is the only thing to do with it. It is never of any use to oneself.

Never take anything for granted.
