Good counsel never comes amiss.

Counsel is to be given by the wise, the remedy by the rich.

Come not to counsel uncalled.

An enemy may chance to give good counsel.

Advice is a stranger, if welcome he stays for the night; if not welcome he returns home the same day.

Hard words break no bones.

Good words cost nothing, but are worth much.

Fine words butter no parsnips.

Deeds, not words.

Business is the salt of life; business and action strengthen the brain.
