Quotes
Advice is like snow - the softer it falls, the longer it dwells upon, and the deeper it sinks into the mind.
The art of advising is to make the recipient believe he thought of the idea himself.
The best advisers, helpers and friends, always are not those who tell us how to act in special cases, but who give us, out of themselves, the ardent spirit and desire to act right, and leave us then, even through many blunders, to find out what our own form of right action is.
