Today my quotes focus on advice:
The true secret of giving advice is, after you have honestly given it, to be perfectly indifferent whether it is taken or not, and never persist in trying to set people right. ~Hannah Whitall Smith
We hate to have some people give us advice because we know how badly they need it themselves. ~Author Unknown
The best way to succeed in life is to act on the advice we give to others. ~Author Unknown
Nobody can give you wiser advice than yourself. ~Cicero
Advice is what we ask for when we already know the answer but wish we didn’t. ~Erica Jong, How to Save Your Own Life, 1977
How true those quotes ring! I love to get advice how else would I improve myself on a regular basis. Though it should be noted there is a huge difference between advice and attacking. Advice is meant to help someone, attacking is trying to bring them down.

Always love me some good advice! I did some twilight quotes considering we are less than a week away from the DVD release! Happy Sunday!
Great quotes, Toni! So true that there’s a difference in giving advice – and meddling. 😉
Have a great Sunday! 🙂
Ooh I especially like “Nobody can give you wiser advice than yourself.” – Our gut instincts are there for a reason!
