Dag Hammarskjöld on advice

Do not seek death. Death will find you. But seek the road which makes death a fulfillment.

Humility is just as much the opposite of self-abasement as it is of self exaltation. To be humble is not to make comparisons.

There is a point at which everything becomes simple and there is no longer any question of choice, because all you have staked will be lost if you look back. Life’s point of no return.

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

Gene Brown

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