Good advice is always certain to be ignored, but that's no reason not to give it.-Agatha Christie
We should be careful and discriminating in all the advice we give. We should be especially careful in giving advice that we would not think of following ourselves. Most of all, we ought to avoid giving counsel which we don't follow when it damages those who take us at our word.-Adlai Stevenson
Success To laugh often and much;To win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children;To earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends;To appreciate beauty, to find the best in others;To leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch or a redeemed social condition;To know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived.This is to have succeeded-Ralph Waldo Emmerson
A word to the wise ain't necessary, it's the stupid ones who need the advice-Bill Cosby
Advice is what we ask for when we already know the answer but wish we didn't.-Erica Jong
He that gives good advice, builds with one hand; he that gives good counsel and example, builds with both; but he that gives good admonition and bad example, builds with one hand and pulls down with the other.-Francis Bacon SR
When we honestly ask ourselves which person in our lives means the most us, we often find that it is those who, instead of giving much advice, solutions, or cures, have chosen rather to share our pain and touch our wounds with a gentle and tender hand. The friend who can be silent with us in a moment of despair or confusion, who can stay with us in an hour of grief and bereavement, who can tolerate not knowing, not curing, not healing and face with us the reality of our powerlessness, that is a friend who cares.-Henri Nouwen
"Do-so" is more important than "say-so."-Pete Seeger
Whatever you do, you need courage. Whatever course you decide upon, there is always someone to tell you that you are wrong. There are always difficulties arising that tempt you to believe your critics are right. To map out a course of action and follow it to an end requires some of the same courage that a soldier needs. Peace has its victories, but it takes brave men and women to win them.-Ralph Waldo Emmerson

This was happening! As Dave likes to say, "It was the longest day of the year...and it felt like it!" (June 21st was Summer Solstice--the day with the most daylight). He is a funny guy. We are so lucky to have each other and to still be best friends.
