Advice

softer it falls, the longer
it dwells upon, and the deeper
it sinks into the mind.
?Samuel Taylor Coleridge
We give advice by the bucket,
but take it by the grain.

tell anybody what to do.

this time. And here are the

after you have honestly given it,
to be perfectly indifferent whether
it is taken or not, and never persist
