Charles Lamb Quotes

Fools need advice most, but wise men only are the better for it.

Do not seek advice from the ignorant.

Mistakes were made, so I learned by my mistakes.

When a wise man gives thee better counsel, give me mine again.

One should follow a man of wisdom who rebukes one for one's faults, as one would follow a guide to some buried treasure. To one who follows such a wise man, it will be an advantage and not a disadvantage.

Follow me, the wise man said, but he walked behind.

A word to the wise is sufficient

Thrée maie a kepe counsayle, if two be away.

There's little comfort in the wise

We may give advice, but not the sense to use it.

The Errors of a Wise Man make your Rule Rather than the Perfections of a Fool.

But if you'll prosper, mark what I advise, Whom age, and long experience render wise.

Look upon him who shows you your faults as a revealer of treasure: seek his company who checks and chides you, the sage who is wise in reproof: it fares well and not ill with him who seeks such company.

No man is so foolish but may give another good counsel sometimes; and no man is so wise, but may easily err, if he will take no others counsel but his own. But very few men are wise by their own counsel; or learned by their own teaching. For he that was only taught by himself had a fool to his master.

Listen to the advice from the one who's already achieved your goal

It's said that a wise person learns from his mistakes. A wiser one learns from others' mistakes. But the wisest person of all learns from others's successes.

One wise man's verdict outweighs all the fools'.

Wise words are like arrows flung at your forehead. What do you do? Why, you duck of course.

All men make mistakes, but only wise men learn from their mistakes.

During times like these, the wise are influential.

Accepting good advice means nothing other than to strengthen one's own ability.

Where's the man who counsel can bestow, still pleased to teach, and yet not proud to know.

The problems of our day loom ominously before us... Surrounded by the sophistication of modern living, we look heavenward for that unfailing sense of direction, that we might chart and follow a wise and proper course. Our Heavenly Father will not leave our sincere petition unanswered.

I'm looking for a market for wisdom.

Wise men profit more from fools than fools from wise men; for the wise men shun the mistakes of fools, but fools do not imitate the successes of the wise.
