Beware of those who talk much, but say little.

Though really, that's probably universal.

Witness unpainted face of your girlfriend before you marry her. ( I made up )

Recipe for sanity and healthy life in nowadays madness is ability to convert bad
energy around you in constructive activity through uplifting thoughts.

Opening quote from my book "Cubicle of Life".

I also really like one latin saying that goes "De inimico non loquaris sed cogites", which translates into :"Don't wish ill for your enemy, plan it!".

You take the good, you take the bad,
you take them both and there you have
The Facts of Life, the Facts of Life.

I highly recommend this as well. Makeup and beers,... awesome for single men and anybody who does not care, but when it comes time to settle down, be sure you understand and love the face you will wake up to for the next whatever of your life. I do not mean this to sound sexist or anything... i just mean, beauty fades and in 30 years or so it won't matter how hot he or she was, what will matter is if you love each other for who you are. And if you can, you should have tried to decide that before you marry.

Even a fool is thought wise if he keeps silent, and discerning if he holds his tongue.
