Giving advice is many times only the privilege of saying a foolish thing one's self, under the pretense of hindering another from doing one.

Alexander Pope 1116 quotes

Like bubbles on the sea of matter borne,
They rise, they break, and to that sea return.

Our rural ancestors, with little blest, Patient of labor when the end was rest, Indulged the day that housed their annual grain, With feasts, and off'rings, and a thankful strain.

He hangs between; in doubt to act or rest;
In doubt to deem himself a god, or beast;
In doubt his mind or body to prefer;
Born to die, and reasoning but to err.

For he lives twice who can at once employ, The present well, and e'en the past enjoy.

See! From the brake the whirring pheasant springs, And mounts exulting on triumphant wings; Short is his joy! He feels the fiery wound, Flutters in blood, and panting beats the ground.

Who combats bravely is not therefore brave, He dreads a death-bed like the meanest slave: Who reasons wisely is not therefore wise,- His pride in reasoning, not in acting lies.

Fly, dotard, fly! With thy wise dreams and fables of the sky.

She who ne'er answers till a husband cools, Or, if she rules him, never shows she rules; Charms by accepting, by submitting, sways, Yet has her humor most, when she obeys.

The soul's calm sunshine, and the heartfelt joy.

From vulgar bounds with brave disorder part, And snatch a grace beyond the reach of art.

On her white breast a sparkling cross she wore, Which Jews might kiss and infidels adore.

Be niggards of advice on no pretense; For the worst avarice is that of sense.

Oft, as in airy rings they skim the heath, The clamtrous lapwings feel the leaden death; Oft, as the mounting larks their notes prepare They fall, and leave their little lives in air.

True friendship's laws are by this rule express'd,
Welcome the coming, speed the parting guest.

Nay, fly to altars; there they'll talk you dead; For fools rush in where angels fear to tread.

Here am I, dying of a hundred good symptoms.
