Consultation with a wise advisor is a blessing, grace, guidance and success.

A good friend who points out mistakes and imperfections and rebukes evil is to be respected as if he reveals the secret of some hidden treasure.

Foresight is a virtue and averts many a misfortune.

A word to the wise is enough.

'T was good advice, and meant, my son, Be good.

We can get rid of most sins, if we have a witness who stands near us when we are likely to go wrong.

O my brethren, O kind and affectionate hearts, O loving friends, should you know any one whose lot it has been, by writing or by word of mouth, in some degree to help you thus to act; if he has ever told you what you knew about yourselves, or what you did not know; has read to you your wants or feelings, and comforted you by the very reading; has made you feel that there was a higher life than this daily one, and a brighter world than that you see; or encouraged you, or sobered you, or opened a way to the inquiring, or soothed the perplexed; if what he has said or done has ever made you take interest in him, and feel well inclined towards him; remember such a one in time to come, though you hear him not, and pray for him, that in all things he may know God's will, and at all times he may be ready to fulfil it.

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

Good advice is embodied.

Fortunate indeed is the man who has found wisdom and who is full of that discretion which is better than all the acquiring, trafficking, and possession of gold and silver. ... I dwell (so says Wisdom) in good and salutary counsel, and am present at learned and wise cogitations. Therefore must a man seek this Wisdom and, having found it, take care to hold it well, that in its time and place it may be of help to him. The ensuing representation will set before your eyes the treatise which I have propounded.

The Lord Jesus promised that he would send his Spirit, the Comforter, to tell us what we must do at all times. And that presence has not been lacking throughout the history of the Church. It has always been there. When we have done wrong it is because we have not listened to his voice.
