Sophocles on advice

Do nothing secretly; for Time sees and hears all things, and discloses all.

Death is not the worst evil, but rather when we wish to die and cannot.

Ah, son, may you prove luckier than your father, but in all else like him. Then you would not prove base.

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.

Oscar Wilde1854–1900An Ideal Husband (1895)

Never take anything for granted.

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