Advising

If to do were as easy as to know what were good to do, chapels had been churches and poor men's cottages princes' palaces.
It is a good divine that follows his own instructions: I can easier teach twenty what were good to be done, than be one of the twenty to follow mine own teaching. The brain may devise laws for the blood, but a hot temper leaps o'er a cold decree: such a hare is madness the
youth, to skip o'er the meshes of good counsel the cripple.
