My mother's advice to me once when I was suspended from school for fighting was, "Young ladies don't fight!" My father's was, "Good for you for standing up for yourself...and winning."

Do not look into the laser beam with your remaining eye.
It's amazing 'science' always seems to 'find' whatever it is funded for, and never the oppsite. Drich.

Until the fight is over I expect the other person to try and kill me. I act accordingly.

If you keep hanging out around the bathrooms you're going to get a reputation.

I've been pondering this for a bit, waiting for one to pp up to the surface. If I had to pluck out one that made the most difference to me it was a conversation with my dad.
paraphrase: "The hardest person you'll learn to love is yourself. You should do that before you try loving the one you'll be marrying. It helps you learn what love is to you and how deeply invaluable and key it is. Then go practice loving other people"
"There ought to be a term that would designate those who actually follow the teachings of Jesus, since the word 'Christian' has been largely divorced from those teachings, and so polluted by fundamentalists that it has come to connote their polar opposite: intolerance, vindictive hatred, and bigotry." -- Philip Stater, Huffington Post

One of many. This one came from a kind stranger.

"If you want everyone to leave you (and your baby) alone when you're trying to privately breastfeed in the ladies room, be reading a paperback book with your free hand."

IT WORKS.
Where are we going and why am I in this hand basket?
