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?

That one is more from the line for the men's room in night clubs and lounges.

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.

You can’t control how other people act, you can only control your reaction.

Three things you can't trust. Politicians, weathermen and farts.

Don’t drink, smoke, or chew, and don’t go out with the girls who do…

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 .
