Ten pretty good rules.

1. Never wrestle with a pig; you both get dirty and the pig likes it.

2. Never argue with an idiot; people watching may not be able to tell the difference.

3. Observe everything; admire nothing.

4. It's easier to obtain forgiveness than it is permission.

5. Never resist the urge to keep your mouth shut.

6. Don't ask the question if you can't live with the answer.

7. If you want a new idea, read an old book.

8. If you don't know where you're going, any road will get you there.

9. Never have a philosophy which supports a lack of courage.

10. Never look back unless you intend to go that way.

Never argue with an idiot. They'll bring you down to their level and beat you with experience

another classic

Don't be no Ant-man.

Ant-Men have low horizons.

It's better to say nothing and be thought a fool then to open your mouth and remove all doubt.

My grandfather told me this line about 1,000 times when I was a kid.

Guess he should have said it a few more times because I have no fear of sharing my opinion.

Pretty good list there M_Six. Thanks for sharing.
