It is the part of a fool to give advice to others and not himself to be on his guard.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
A fellow who is always declaring he's no fool usually has his suspicions.
It is the fool who thinks he cannot be fooled.
He who can take advice is sometimes superior to him who can give it.
No man is so foolish but he may sometimes give another good counsel, and no man so wise that he may not easily err if he takes no other counsel than his own. He that is taught only by himself has a fool for a master.
Rules are for the obedience of fools and the guidance of wise men.
Let no one trust so entirely to natural prudence as to persuade himself that it will suffice to guide him without help from experience.
Many a man is praised for his reserve and so-called shyness when he is simply too proud to risk making a fool of himself.
He that is taught only by himself has a fool for a master.
He who stands aloof runs the risk of believing himself better than others and misusing his critique of society as an ideology for his private interest.
Wise men don't need advice. Fools won't take it.
