What is the best ...

[Claire]

... advice anyone ever gave you?

 

[PrincessFiona60]

"Go to nursing school."

 

[Barbara L]

"Read your Bible more, and bury God's Word in your heart."

 

[Aunt Bea]

Save for a rainy day! As the Delaney sisters said " I never thought it would rain this hard or this long".

 

[MrsLMB]

To remember that I am always number 1. If things are not right with me things will not be right for anything around me.

 

[Rocklobster]

Don't eat that.

 

[CraigC]

Don't believe anything you hear and only half of what you see.

I reckon the wisest advice I ever heard is from the Good Book. "Judge not, that ye be not judged."

 

[taxlady]

"Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity."

 

[LPBeier]

"You are only as YOUNG as you feel!" Given to me by my paternal Grandmother who lived life to the fullest until cancer took her in her late 70's!

 

[pacanis]

Never send an email when a phone call is more appropriate.

 

[Alix]

If you can't say nothin' nice, don't say nothin' at all! (Thumper)

Respect everyone until they show you they do not deserve it. (Dad)

It took me awhile to recall the name of this writing by Max Ehrmann in the 1920's. As I was looking it up, I discovered there are issues about the copyright, so I will not post it here. You can read it here:
Desiderata
It is powerful stuff indeed, IMHO.

Thank you for reminding me about Desiderata. It is truly powerful.

The wedding day is just one day; focus on your life together.

 

[Sprout]

"If it can be fixed with money, it's not a problem."
Context: a discussion on peace in the home at our wedding reception
It has helped us stop many arguments before we got carried away.

“He who takes offense when no offense is intended is a fool, and he who takes offense when offense is intended is a greater fool.”
No one can seem to agree on who originally said this, but whoever it was, he was very wise. It can be hard to follow, but makes life so much easier!

"Let it go." I took a Stress Management seminar which was sponsored by a company I worked for when they started a merger and then layoffs. Those three little words have become my mantra.

Also another gem from my Dad: Being right won't keep you warm at night.
