Parting Advice

.
And another thing . . .

Today is the last day of classes at Utah State University, and the last opportunity to impart a little parting advice before final exams and the annual summer student diaspora. Not that anyone will pay any more attention to this than to anything else I’ve said all year.

• “A word to the wise ain’t necessary, it’s the stupid ones who need the advice.” —Bill Cosby, comedian and educator
• “Change your underwear.” —Anon.
• “The only thing to do with good advice is to pass it on. It is never of any use to oneself.” —Oscar Wilde (1854-1900), writer
• “Put that woman down! You don’t know where she’s been!”–Anon.
• “Whatever advice you give, be brief.” —Horace (Quintus Horatius Flaccus, BC 65-8), Roman philosopher
• “Advice is seldom welcome, and those who need it the most, like it the least.” —Lord Chesterfield (1694-1773), British statesman
• “Advice is like castor oil, easy enough to give but dreadful uneasy to take.” —Josh Billings (Henry Wheeler Shaw, 1818-1885), humorist
• “If I had to give young writers advice, I would say don’t listen to writers talking about writing or themselves.” —Lillian Hellman (1905-1984), writer
• “Stupid people always think they are right. Wise people listen to advice.”—Anon.
• “Speak your mind. Don’t let anyone censor you. It’s the best advice. Even as a teenager, I always said what I was thinking. I wasn’t afraid of what others think. You have to express yourself no matter what anyone else thinks about it.”—Anon.
• “Some people like my advice so much that they frame it upon the wall instead of using it.” —Anon.
• “Hit the road, Jack” —Anon.

Editor’s Note: My mother said not to put beans in my ears... Asparagus, OK.
