One piece of advice...

[bodhi]

2) It is better to ask a question and look stupid than to not ask and be stupid.

Heh. I've always liked the reverse of this: It is better to be silent and thought a fool than to speak and remove all doubt.

Protect your credit rating.

[Tinker Gnome]

Don't try too hard.

 

[Merkuri]

Protect your credit rating.

Good one. I know too many people who've gotten into trouble because they wracked up a lot of credit card debt as a teenager/college student.

The object of war is not to die for your country but to make the other poor guy die for his.

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

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

 

[kyloss]

Or "A Coward dies a thousand deaths a hero only one. "
And just remember from murphies laws of combat "your weapon was made by the lowest bidder" along with most every thing else.

Wear sunscreen. No, wait, that's Mary Schmich's advice.

Never burn a bridge. You never know when you're going to encounter that person again, and you'll be far better off not re-encountering a person who's holding a grudge.

Let's see if I can translate this well enough:

"Everything is possible, thus it is even possible that some things are impossible"

And another:

"The meaning of life is to search for the meaning of life."

And last, my favourite:

"Life is an orange"
(as in the fruit, not colour.)

"Always do whatevers next." -George Carlin-

IMO, this is the best advice I've ever heard.
