"It's easier to be wise for others than for ourselves"

?

This quote by Francois de La Rochefoucauld suggests that it is much easier to provide suggestions to aside from to take our own recommendations. This is since we typically tend to be more vital of ourselves than we are of others. We may be more ready to forgive the errors of others than our own. We may also be more likely to give others the benefit of the doubt than we are to ourselves. This quote is a pointer to be kind to ourselves and to take our own suggestions as seriously as we take the guidance of others.
