ráðvillt

Feeling paremiological this evening:

Good advice is only of use if the recipient is prepared to take it.

Oughtn't this be proverbial? Perhaps:
Gagnslaus eru góð ráð
gaumlausum manni

Could that be? Please advise.

2 ummæli:

tristan sagði...

there are none so blind as those who WILL not see

sterna sagði...

Right you are! Now if only it alliterated. English proverbs suffer greatly from a lack of alliteration.
