Kenneth Grahame on advice

The Mole had been working very hard all the morning, spring-cleaning his little home.

Spring was moving in the air above and in the earth below and around him, penetrating even his dark and lowly little house with its spirit of divine discontent and longing.

All along the backwater,
Through the rushes tall,
Ducks are a-dabbling,
Up tails all!

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.
