“I know now that what makes a fool is an inability to take even his own good advice.”

“I talk to myself everyone once in a while. Give myself very good advice. Sometimes I even take it.”

“Wise men don't need advice. Fools won't take it.”

“If a mistake is made the honorable thing to do is to own up to it.' Of course I was talking about Levi owning up to his mistakes. But as I finish this book, I realize it applies equally to myself, and to all of us as we try but fail to live up to the standards we know are right. Our inability and unwillingness to keep the standards don't make the standards any less valuable and good.”

“Sometimes I believe that God wants to try me, both now and later on; I must become good through my own efforts, without examples and without good advice.”

“My advice is don’t take advice from anybody. This is good advice, and as such, it’s bad advice.”
