Advice is judged by results, not by intentions

Nobody can give you wiser advice than yourself.

To be ignorant of what happened before you were born is to be ever a child. For what is man's lifetime unless the memory of past events is woven with those of earlier times?

O philosophy, you leader of life.

To live is to think.

Advice in old age is foolish; for what can be more absurd than to increase our provisions for the road the nearer we approach to our journey's end.
