Fantastic thread idea! I save up interesting quotes (many of which end up being advice) so here goes:
"Hope for the best, prepare for the worst"
>Me
"Everything in moderation - except for knowledge"
>Aristotle
"In relationships, woman want to feel special and men want to feel like they're enough."
>Loagan Stroud (a friend of mine; paraphrased from a conversation of ours)
"Holding onto anger is like grasping a hot coal with the intent of throwing it at someone; you are the one who gets burned."
>Buddha
"You miss 100 percent of the shots you never take.
>Wayne Gretzky
cheers,

P.S. Aaaand, slightly off-topic (because it has little to do with advice, per se) but:
"For the coward, there is no life. For the hero, there is no death"
>Unknown
