Favorite advice/quote?

[Jackie Snack 1,498]

Everyone has at least ONE quote or bit of advice that they hold onto throughout their lives. Something that they think of, something that they live by or maybe even spread it to others. What do you live by?

 

I have two.

 

"Never pass up a chance to use the bathroom." - My dad

 

"The best skill you can ever learn is how to bullshit someone." - My 6th grade english teacher.

"Cross that bridge when you come to it" and "When happiness comes to visit, be sure to offer it a comfortable chair." 

 

The first one helps me to avoid overthinking things and obsessing over them needlessly, and the other just sounds comforting. 

 

Also, a Personal Motto from Storm Cake, "Don't cry because it's over, smile because it happened" has given me a lot of peace.

[Kronos the Revenant 1,971]

My mother told me this a few months ago. it was confusing, but it made sense after she explained it, so think about it for a moment: 

 

"Be selfish. Do things for yourself because we're [your parents] are not going to be there for you forever, so you have to learn to be selfish and look after yourself."

 

I know, it took a while for me to translate that in the right way, also.

If you look for the light you will often find it.

But if you look for the dark, that's all you'll ever see.

I'm not a fan of serious quotes. I do, however like funny ones, and I've recently taken to writing down the strangest things me and my friends have said, so here's some of the best and most WTF quotes (especially the last one):

 

"Super immersive toilet paper gets you really wet" - Friend A, 12th June 2015

"Do they accelerate that?" - Friend S, 29th June 2016

"Pact the bing, yarn." - Friend C, Unknown (we have no idea what this means, including Friend C)
