Advise none to marry or go to war. [ English Proverb, collected by George Herbert ]
Though old and wise, yet still advise. [ English Proverb, collected by George Herbert ]
Advise with salt, (i.e. with discretion). [ Motto ]
In conduct as in courage you excel.
Still first to act what you advise so well. [ Pope ]
One can advise comfortably from a safe port. [ Schiller ]
Blest be the gracious Power, who taught mankind
To stamp a lasting image of the mind!
Beasts may convey, and tuneful birds may sing.
Their mutual feelings, in the opening spring;
But Man alone has skill and power to send
The heart's warm dictates to the distant friend;
'Tis his alone to please, instruct, advise
Ages remote, and nations yet to rise. [ Crabbe ]
Every one thinks himself able to advise another. [ Proverb ]
Advise your friends in private, praise them openly. [ Publius Syrus ]
While the discreet advise the fool doth his business. [ English Proverb, collected by George Herbert ]
To attempt to advise conceited people is like whistling against the wind. [ Hood ]
Such a one seems to applaud, while he is really ridiculing you; attach yourself to those who advise you rather than to those who praise. [ Boileau ]
Have something to tell, and tell it clearly, simply, without a trace of affectation or conscious effort at fine writing. I should advise the study of examples in this perfection of art. [ E P. Roe, The Art Of Authorship, 1891 ]
We must have kings, we must have nobles; nature is always providing such in every society; only let us have the real instead of the titular. In every society some are born to rule, and some to advise. The chief is the chief all the world over, only not his cap and plume. It is only this dislike of the pretender which makes men sometimes unjust to the true and finished man. [ Emerson ]
Mr. Johnson had never, by his own account, been a close student, and used to advise young people never to be without a book in their pocket, to be read at bye-times, when they had nothing else to do. It has been by that means,
said he to a boy at our house one day, that all my knowledge has been gained, except what I have picked up by running about the world with my wits ready to observe, and my tongue ready to talk.
[ Mrs. Piozzi ]
