Advice


Among the most disheartening and dangerous of ... advisors, you will often find those closest to you, your dearest friends, members of your own family, perhaps, loving, anxious, and knowing nothing whatever.

-- Minnie Maddern Fiske
 
Said in a letter to Alexander Woollcott, 1908, quoted in Alexander Woollcott, Mrs. Fiske, 1917.
