Suggestions

Advice, n. The suggestions you give someone else which you hope will work for your benefit.
- Ambrose Bierce, The Devil's Dictionary, 1881 - 1906

The best advice one can offer to both press and public is the suggestion Ronald Reagan himself gave to students in Chicago ... “Don't let me get away with it. Check me out. Don't be the sucker generation.”
- Jean Nathan Miller

By its very looseness, by its way of evoking rather than defining, suggesting rather than saying, English is a magnificent vehicle for emotional poetry.
- Max Beerbohm, 1872 - 1956

To know how to suggest is the great art of teaching.
- Ralph Waldo Emerson, 1803 - 1882

I want to give the audience a hint of a scene. No more than that. Give them too much and they won't contribute anything themselves. Give them just a suggestion and you get them working with you. That's what gives the theater meaning: when it becomes a social act.
- Orson Welles, 1915 - 1985

We cannot put the face of a person on a stamp unless said person is deceased. My suggestion, therefore, is that you drop dead.
- J. Edward Day, 1914 - 1996
