Aesop on advice

He that always gives way to others will end in having no principles of his own.

It is with our passions, as it is with fire and water, they are good servants but bad masters.

Only cowards insult dying majesty.

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)
