John Adams to his then 10-year-old son John Quincy:

“[T]urn your Thoughts early to such Studies, as will afford you the most solid Instruction and Improvement for the Part which may be allotted you to act on the Stage of Life. There is no History, perhaps, better adapted to this usefull Purpose than that of Thucidides.”

Novelist Nelson Algren's advice: “Never play cards with a man called Doc. Never eat at a place called Mom’s. Never sleep with a woman whose troubles are worse than your own.”

My friends and I always ate at a place called Mom’s, which had good Italian food. My friends call me Doc; whose deal is it?

A better advice is not to listen to the best advice.

A watch collection is not measured by the number of watches, but by the number of watches that take our breath away.
