This is what Homer Simpson (a father) told Lisa (his daughter) at one point: "No matter how good you are, there are always a billion other people better than you." I think I've left this quote somewhere, but I still love it. It's useful, too.
You're just another bastard.
"Never be ashamed of being yourself. If you know you tried your hardest, that's all that counts."
"Dammit son, money doesnt grow on f*&$ing trees!"
"If they are bigger than you its ok to fight dirty. Aim for the eyes and the soft spots. And remember, you might not win the fight, you may even lose horribly, but make sure they never, ever, forget the day they fought you."

The best thing my dad ever did for me without ever saying it was letting me learn for myself... he didn't have to give me advice on it
"It all comes down to what we make of ourselves, eh?"
-The Fairy Godmother
"Sing on, poor souls! The night is short, and the morning will part you forever!"
- Uncle Tom's Cabin
"Hell doesn't exist, its just a place made up to scare you"
Strangers passing in the street, by chance to separate glances meet, and I am you and what I see is me.
'smile and the world will smile back'
or
'smil, sa smiler verdenen til dig' [my father only spoke danish to me]
I wish I used this advice more often.
Welcome Gestapo...

My dad once told me to "keep reading." I suppose he was really surprised with how much I could learn from reading.
com-pas-sion (n.) [ME. & OFr. <LL. (Ec.) compassio, sympathy < compassus, pp. of compati, to feel pity < L. com-, together + pali, to suffer] sorrow for the sufferings or trouble of another or others, accompanied by an urge to help; deep sympathy; pity
Dostoevsky Forum!
Ask about the most amusing one and there would be a really tough competition, one of them being, "Trust no one fully, for no one in life would be truly sincere with you." Probably he didn't realise then that 'no one' ruled him out too, and he was expecting me to take this advice.And then of course there are advices which are quite contradictory to the ones stated before. I clearly remember him stating somewhere else, "You have to trust someone now or then, for that's life." Oh dear parents!
But there is one he always sticks to, "You don't have to tell your mother about everything, she gets worried easily and emotional as she is, would make a mountain out of a mole-hill." I like this one. Especially started liking it after my mother got mad on me on some little flu (I just told her that I had had ice-cream in the cold that day
I sang of leaves, of leaves of gold, and leaves of gold there grew.
"Whatever happens during the day, make sure you sleep well at night"
I declare after all there is no enjoyment like reading! How much sooner one tires of anything than of a book! When I have a house of my own, I shall be miserable if I have not an excellent library.
