Quote by Benjamin Franklin

We may give advice but we cannot give conduct

We may give advice but we cannot give conduct

Summary

This quote suggests that while we may offer advice or guidance to others, we ultimately cannot control their actions or behavior. We can share our wisdom and recommend a certain course of action, but it is up to the individual to decide whether to follow it or not. Their conduct, or how they choose to act in a given situation, is solely their responsibility. In essence, we cannot dictate or determine someone's choices; we can only offer support and guidance.

I feel, like all modern Americans, no consciousness of sin and simply do not believe in it. All I know is that if God loves me only half as much as my mother does, he will not send me to Hell. That is a final fact of my inner consciousness, and for no religion could I deny its truth.
