    We all know a couple we have picked up over the years, pieces of advice given to us or read somewhere, I have a few...

    My mother :"Inform yourself to the best of your ability and vote your conscience!"

    My father :"Never sit down at a game of poker with more money than you're prepared to lose!"

    I have more but what are yours?

    If someone you know is always slagging off other people, they're slagging you off too

    People will put up with a lot when they need that paycheck...but they are not always going to be that paycheck.

    You may not always be the hand that feeds them.

    Think ahead. Don't be a dick.

    Never trust a fart;
    Never waste a erection;
    And if you go to bed with an itchy butt,
    you'll wake up with a stinky finger.

    A repeated mistake is ultimately a choice.

    Rejoice in the awareness of feeling stupid, for that’s how you end up learning new things. If you’re not aware you’re stupid, you probably are.

    I particularly like be nice to everyone you meet on the way up as you might meet them again on the way down.

    Or more realistically Ireland is a small country and in a lot of sectors, everyone will know everyone else so the graduate who got mauled, role on 25 years is now CEO or senior manager somewhere.

    In certain situations it is better to keep your mouth shut and be thought a fool than to open it and remove all doubt........

    Never pay interest on a loan you didn't take out.

    Meaning don't worry about stuff that might never happen.

    Fair weather never made a good sailor

    You won't know the shelter of the bush until it's cut

    Since beer is an acquired taste one may as well acquire a taste for cheap beer

    First they came for the socialists...

    If you work in certain professions that isn't true.

    I had an Irish teacher who used to say that all the time. She was a cow.
