What's the best piece of advice you've received from a book, song or a movie
My would be Atticus Finch, To Kill a mockingbird:
"You never really understand a person until you consider things from his point of view... Until you climb into his skin and walk around in it." It took me some time (in practice) to digest that. |

The advice given by "the scientist" to Bubby in Bad Boy Bubby.
It is the duty of all human beings to think God out of existence. Then we have a future. Because then - and only then - do we take full responsibility for who we are. |

The best advice I've (never) received came a little bit too late. It's from "London for Immigrant suckers; So long Yugoslavia"
"Apparently, it is a matter of the utmost importance to start your love life career with a glamorous victory. If your first girlfriend is a sufferer who collects burdens on her shoulders, at some subconscious level you’ll feel that that is kind of your destiny. You won’t be able to get away from this type; they’ll seek your fertile ground and infuse it with their frustrations. They’ll hunt you down and anchor you up to them. But if you are clever and realize this at the beginning, then you are saved" I wish I'd read this 25 years ago. |

Not sure if it was originally his saying but mine is from John Lennons song "Beautiful Boy"
Life is what happens to you while you're busy making other plans. Love this saying and so true. |

From "Always on my mind", Willie Nelson,
"Maybe I didn't hold you, all those lonely, lonely times, and I guess I never told you, I'm so happy that you're mine." I never miss an opportunity to do it now. |

Walk Unafraid by REM. In fact the whole song but I've just pasted the first verse.
As the sun comes up, as the moon goes down These heavy notions creep around It makes me think, long ago I was brought into this life a little lamb A little lamb Courageous, stumbling Fearless was my middle name. But somewhere there I lost my way Everyone walks the same Expecting me to step The narrow path they've laid They claim to Walk unafraid I'll be clumsy instead Hold me love me or leave me high. |

Never judge a man until you've walked a mile in his shoes.
Then , when you do judge him he's a mile away and you've got his shoes. Someone beat me to "sunscreen". |
