More proverbs about Wisdom

• Absence cools moderate passions, and inflames violent ones. Distance fades mild affections but makes intense ones burn all the hotter.
• The absent are always at fault. Those not present to defend themselves get the blame.
• Give neither advice nor salt until you are asked for it. Offer advice only when it's asked for; unsolicited counsel is rarely welcome.
• What every one asks, what every one gives, but what very few take--advice. Everyone seeks and gives advice, yet almost no one actually follows it.
• Two of a trade seldom agree. Rivals in the same business rarely agree; competition breeds friction between them.
