So guys, I'm writing a book for my kids, you of course, get to use your infinite wisdom to help.

If you have any snippets of wisdom, quotes, or anything to share, post it here.

I'll put it in the book and credit you.

Just post whenever you think of something.

"When all else fails, use fire."

In all seriousness, are you going to put in anecdotes about what happened on the forums previously?

Well, lemme tell you sorta what I got.,

This is literally going to be kept in a little  compositions booklet and will be given to my kids when they hit 10-13 years old.

It' contains things like

#1 Find good friends.

#5 Work hard for everything.

#13 Your dad has been through it, ask him.

#14 If your dad hasn't, your mom has, ask her.

#22 Ask your mom and dad for funny stories.

#24 Friends from the internet are just as good as friends you've met face to face.
(I say "Ask me about the TDC gang.")

#28 Don't be afraid to be the "Weird kid"

#32 If a girl wants to cut her hair, let her.

#34 The shy girl actually wants to talk, go say hi.

I would prefer if you gave tips like this.

Thanks guys.

I'm also accepting quotes from books, movies (bring on the Princess Bride quotes) or anything, so long as it has a source, even if the source is "Anonymous" (That doesn't mean /b/)

Also accepting music recommendations to put in. Only requirements are that they're uplifting, inspirational, or break up songs.

"Don't let your accomplishments go to your head, or your failures go to your heart."

"If you don't have the time to do something right, then you must have the time to do it over."

"We don't stop playing because we grow old- we grow old because we stop playing."

"A candle loses nothing from lighting another candle."

Those are four that I've remembered. :)
If you'd like more, I'd have to look em up.

If they're quotes you've heard from something, give me the source.

If they're all your original thoughts, let me know so I can credit you.

I don't remember who said them. They're sayings that I memorized back in middle school. You don't have to credit anyone, because they're not actual quotes- I doubt I remembered those word for word.

Always use the psychic type.

Go prone when shot by holding square.

I put it in General discussion because it's supposed to be serious guys.

MasterKeyX

I still think "go prone when shot at" is still pretty decent advice, as long as you remove the buttons part.

This was George Bernard Shaw, by the way.

Ooh, here's one, related to TDC-funny-things thing: "If something weird happens on the Internet, blame Firefox 3."

This one kinda goes without saying, in my opinion.

Blame Apple.

This is a good rule.
