Don't worry about growing older or pleasing others. Please yourself.

If you don't like something about yourself, change it. If you can't change it, accept it.

Distrust interested advice.

We give advice by the bucket, but we take it by the grain.

Unasked advice is a trespass on sacred privacy.

Advise none to marry or go to war.

Whatever advice you give, be short.
