And fourthly, what need hardly be said twice,
That good but rarely came from good advice.

The most common bad advice I hear is: “You’re too young.” Most of history was built by young people. They just got credit when they were older.

Good advice is embodied.

I dislike giving advice, and am always very careful to find out what the person needs to hear (not necessarily wants to hear; the two usually have little in common) before venturing into that territory. I’m sure I have received much good advice, but can only recall the bad.

People offer advice, but they do not give at the same time the wisdom to benefit from it.

Most of the good life advice is antimemetic. If it somehow has become viral the person dispensing it has spent 10+ years on a spiritual journey and now communicates poetically

A lot of viral “advice” is really just tactics good for a year or two

advice is like Schrödinger's cat ...
all advice is both bad and good at the same time

Good advice is something a man gives when he is too old to set a bad example.

There's no such thing as advice to the lovelorn. If they took advice, they wouldn't be lovelorn. You see, advice and lovelorn don't go together. Because advice makes love sound like some sort of cognitive activity, but we know that it isn't. We all know that it's some sort of horrible chemical reaction over which we have absolutely no control. And that's why advice doesn't work.

That's just the trouble with me,I give myself very good advice, but I very seldom follow it.

I have known many people to ask for advice but very few who wanted it and none who followed it.

Many receive advice, few profit by it.

The problem is taking any one person’s advice too seriously. Ideally, asking advice should be like echolocation. Bounce ideas off of all of your surroundings, and listen to all the echoes to get the whole picture.
