Speaker 1 (0s): Just like a boomerang. You came back so happy. You guys are here. Join the Proverbs. Me too. Let's knock out. Number four, keep this dream alive. As my friend, Scott Hammertime would say advice and ignorance, giving advice, there is no price for good advice, which is why one word to the wise is enough. And he, that speaks so close. Whereas he, that hears reaps leading by example is better than giving advice. 

So it's often best to say little about what you know, and nothing about what you don't for. No matter how much care is taken, someone will be misled for many. The truth hurts as good medicine is bitter to the tongue. Good advice is harsh to the ear, which is why. If you advise a bear, you deserve your fate. And many people use a stick for a nobody and a hint for a nobleman. 

A fool may say do, as I say, not as I do, but even a fool can give ideas to a wise man. And remember, never give advice in a crowd heating advice. He asks advice in vain who does not heat it. So ask for what you want. Don't offer me advice. Give me money for warned is for armed. They say so learn from new books and old teachers. 

And if you can't read, then experience will show you while a master points the way remember it's shameful, never to ask, and it's better to ask twice. Then lose your way. Once as he who seeks advice, seldom ERs, many, a young Prince is told that listening to good advice is the way to wealth for a King with good counselors has a peaceful rain often because deep calls to deep. 

One piece of good advice is better than a bagful. And crafty advice often comes from a fool. Bear in mind that another person's counsel is no command and that you must examine the advice not who gives it. Remember if you ask a lazy person to work, he will only give you advice. But if you're lucky, you'll find the best advice is on your pillow. 

And the best word is left unsaid for all that is known, is not told ignoring advice. Only a bad child will not take advice for those nuns. So death, as those who won't hear, there's none so blind as those who won't see yet, no enemy is worse than bad advice because if the blind lead, the blind both will fall into the ditch, particularly as advice most needed is least heated. 

Of course, the person on shore is always the champion swimmer and many will show you the way after the Cartwheel breaks. Remember there is no right way to a wrong thing and advice after mischief is like medicine after death. So bear in mind that wise men don't need advice and fools won't take it. So why not go to the square and ask advice, then go home and do what you like. 

I got an idea. Substance and appearance, substance things are what they are. It is what it is. For instance, however long, a log lies in the water. It never becomes a crocodile. And you don't gather grapes from thorns or figs from thistles nature, abhors a vacuum. Thus, the pebble comes from the mountain and each Bay has its own wind in nature. 

There's no such thing as a lawn. Even if you try to drive out in nature with a Pitchfork, she'll keep coming back. Indeed nature follows its course and a cat, the mouse. So cats don't catch mice to please God human nature is the same. The world over just as the name given to a child becomes natural to it. Perhaps because of this, sometimes a p
