A woman seldom asks advice before she has bought her wedding clothes.

The Spectator (1711)

There is nothing which we receive with so much reluctance as advice.

When I read rules of criticism, I immediately inquire after the works of the author who has written them, and by that means discover what it is he likes in a composition.
