What is a piece of advice or a wise (or silly) saying you remember from your childhood? I remember a bunch, but here are two that come to mind:
- Don't take any wooden nickels.
Not sure where I got that one. Maybe an old cartoon or a book I read when I was young, or something I heard an older person say.
- Rome wasn't built in a day.
My aunt used to say that when someone was in too much of a hurry. I always wondered how far back that saying went. Had that been passed down from mother to daughter since ancient or medieval times?

Youll lose lots of money chasing women, but youll never lose women chasing money.
Dont trust anything you hear and only half of what you see.
The names change, but the game stays the same.
Aint no puss like new puss.
My Dad told me this after my first divorce.

If you’re gonna be stupid, you’d better be tough.

I posted this in a different thread, but it’s still great advice for anyone:
A wise man once told me the further a woman’s eyes are apart the crazier they are, just like hammerhead sharks. The craziest sharks in the ocean.

“You can’t have your cake and eat it too.”
bullshite. That’s the whole point of having your cake - to eat it. And literally everyone who has cake, also eats it. It’s delicious .

Women and children can afford to be foolish, but not men.

Wise man once told me,
“The best pussy you will ever get is from your wife at home with a guilt free conscience.”
Cheating isn’t worth it!
