Old men are fond of giving good advice to console themselves for their inability to give bad examples.
Good advice is something a man gives when he is too old to set a bad example.
It gets really tricky giving advice. The older I get, the less advice I give.
Great advice comes from people that have been around a lot longer than you.
I'm not accustomed to giving advice to those who haven't asked for it.
I try not to give too much advice, really, because people have to do their things their way. I got lots of advice when I was young, and I ignored most of it - the good and the bad.
It seems that when you get to a certain age you almost give yourself permission to misbehave and say what you think. People allow it, with very old people.
I don't talk to old people; they try to find ways to stay static. Young folks are the ones with the ideas and constantly moving forward.
You know you must be doing something right if old people like you.
Writers and artists never pay attention to advice given by their elders, quite rightly. The only worthwhile advice is the most general: 'Keep trying, don't give up, don't be discouraged, don't pay attention to detractors.' Everyone knows this.
