It is a bit embarrassing to have been concerned with the human problem all one's life and find at the end that one has no more to offer by way of advice than 'try to be a little kinder.'
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Always be a little kinder than necessary.
I will say this: one of the things that is a pain when you're expecting children is how much advice unsolicited people give you when you're not asking for it.
There is no substitute for kindness in the home. This lesson I learned from my father. He always listened to my mother's advice. As a result, he was a better, wiser, and kinder man.
My concept of an advice giver had been a therapist or a know-it-all, and then I realized nobody listens to the know-it-alls. You turn to the people you know, the friend who has been in the thick of it or messed up - and I'm that person for sure.
Shall we make a new rule of life from tonight: always to try to be a little kinder than is necessary?
It gets really tricky giving advice. The older I get, the less advice I give.
Most people who ask for advice from others have already resolved to act as it pleases them.
Advice is one of those things it is far more blessed to give than to receive.
I would never offer advice without the person asking for it. I, in general, don't believe in giving advice, actually, as a human being I don't.
Nobody can be kinder than the narcissist while you react to life in his own terms.
