    Advice is good but proverbs are better; Chinese proverbs are the best:
    • "When your compass says one thing and your map another, either your compass is broken or your map is wrong."
    • "When the bear breathes deep, the rabbit gets cold."
    • "Small feet never use big gloves."
    • "A high tower is a low hill."
    • "A leaf in the stream is like a dead fish in your kettle."
    • "If your map says thay you're on the mountain over there, then you're lost."
    • "Raise a wall and your trees will shine under the sun."
    • "Your home isn't your pit."
    • "A duck is a duck, but the fowl doesn't know."
    • "Rain on your hat is like stones on the mountain."
    • "If you walk West, nobody in the North will tell."
    • "Over there always means up there."
    • "Sing like a bird, sleep like a tiger, eat like a bear."
    • "Man who gets laid in strawberry patch has ass in jam."
    • "Man who get laid on hillside is not on level."
    • "Man who is able to read this is able to read."
    • "It should not be forgotten that being healthy is essentially better than being unhealthy."
    • "He who looks at the sun in the day will have his eyes dazzled; he who looks at the sun at night is having an illusion."
    • "In a conflict, it's better to be the winner than the loser."
    • "A dead wolf is not afraid of a donkey."

    The best defense is a good offence.


    Think before you speak. (I usually get this one mixed around )

    I'm not very good at keeping my own advice: avoid offering unsolicited advice. Furthermore, be especially careful if you choose to offer advice to a friend who asks for it.
    Be intent on loyalty
    While others aspire to perform meritorious services
    Concentrate on purity of intent
    While those around you are beset by egoism

    I get good advice frequently from TogakureOJonin

    One of the best I remember was: 'Have fun!'. That was before my first match in a stw mp tournament.

    He who fights with monsters might take care lest he thereby become a monster. And if you gaze for long into an abyss, the abyss gazes also into you.
    -Nietzsche

    Beware of dissipating your powers; strive constantly to concentrate them. Genius thinks it can do whatever it sees others doing, but is sure to repent of every ill-judged outlay.
    -Goethe

    Judge of a man by his questions rather than by his answers.
    -Voltaire

    The happiness of a man in this life does not consist in the absence but in the mastery of his passions.
    -Alfred Lord Tennyson

    The visionary lies to himself, the liar only to others.
    -Friedrich Nietzsche

    Never listen to, Everything I do, I do it for you by Bryan Adams when you are having girl trouble. Not a good idea, speaking from experience. Listen to She hates me by Puddle of Mudd instead
    When I was a child
    I caught a fleeting glimpse
    Out of the corner of my eye.
    I turned to look but it was gone
    I cannot put my finger on it now
    The child is grown,
    The dream is gone.
    I have become comfortably numb...
