“In giving advice seek to help, not to please, your friend.”

“A true friend is the one who treats you and gives you advices, exactly as if he is treating himself and giving advices to himself, so if you are a true friend never ever talk about your friends behind their backs, cause you must be sure that you are talking about yourself :)”

“Please give me some good advice in your next letter. I promise not to follow it. (in a letter written while she was in college)”

“Don't always refuse to go shopping with your wife. Of course it's a nuisance, but sometimes she honestly wants your advice, and you ought to be pleased to give it.”

“Sometimes it helps to scold yourself, to give yourself advice.”

“The only advice I can give to aspiring writers is don't do it unless you're willing to give your whole life to it. Red wine and garlic also helps. ”
