Advice Meme

Snarfed from satyrlovesong, among others. The object of the activity is to share one’s wisdom with others, to give advice as it were.

1. Never ascribe to malace what one can to stupidity.
2. Years ago my mother used to say to me, she’d say, “In this world, Elwood, you must be” – she always called me Elwood – “In this world, Elwood, you must be oh so smart or oh so pleasant.” Well, for years I was smart. I recommend pleasant. You may quote me. — Harvey
3. Don’t dream it, be it. — Rocky Horror, via my daughter
4. A mental mind fuck can be nice. — Rocky Horror
