Be yourself is
about the worst advice you can give to some people.
-- Thomas L. Masson
Your friends
praise your abilities to the skies, submit to you in
argument, and seem to have the greatest deference for you;
but, though they may ask it, you never find them following
your advice upon their own affairs; nor allowing you to
manage your own, without thinking that you should follow
theirs. Thus, in fact, they all think themselves wiser than
you, whatever they may say.
-- Lord Melbourne
1779-1848, British Statesman,
Prime Minister
I sometimes
give myself admirable advice, but I am incapable of taking
it.
-- Lady Mary Wortley Montagu
1689-1762, British Society
Figure, Letter Writer
It is only too
easy to make suggestions and later try to escape the
consequences of what we say.
-- Jawaharlal Nehru
1889-1964, Indian
Nationalist, Statesman
