Good counsel is no better than bad counsel, if it be not taken in time.

No man is so foolish but he may sometimes give another good counsel, and no man so wise that he may not easily err if he takes no other counsel than his own. He that is taught only by himself has a fool for a master.

Because just as arms have no force outside if there is no counsel within a house, study is vain and counsel useless that is not put to virtuous effect when the time calls.

Everybody knows good counsel except him who has need of it.
Good counsel will not rot, if it be got in dry.
There is as much difference between the counsel that a friend giveth, and that a man giveth himself, as there is between the counsel of a friend and of a flatterer. For there is no such flatterer as is a man's self.

Search well and be wise, nor believe that self-willed pride will ever be better than good counsel.
The dead add their strength and counsel to the living. The dead add their strength and counsel to the living.
Precaution said, Good friend, this counsel keep: strip not yourself until you're laid to sleep.
Of hasty counsel take good heed, for haste is very rarely speed.
Sylvette
Oh thou, my sister,
Who art not my sister,
Listen to the wise counsel
Of thy brother
Who is not thy brother,
Which thou hast given unto me
And which I heard not,
Being that same wise counsel
Which I spake unto thee
In the first instance
And to which thou also
Hearkenedst not.
For each of us,
Who are not sister and brother,
Is wise to the foolhardiness
Of the other,
For, truly, we are
Brother and sister.
