Additional quotes by James Burgh

Never offer advice but where there is some probability of its being followed.

In mixed company, be readier to hear than to speak, and put people upon talking of what is in their own way; for then you will both oblige them, and be most likely to improve by their conversation.

Do well, but do not boast of it; for that will lessen the commendation you might otherwise have deserved.
