This is a question Advice from Old People

Sometimes, just sometimes, old people say something worth listening to. Ok, so it's like picking the needle out of a whole haystack of mis-remembered war stories, but those gems should be celebrated.

Tell us something worthwhile an old-type person has told you.

Note, we're leaving the definition of old up to you, you smooth-skinned youngsters.

This is a QotW answer Two fine pieces of wisdom.
1) My dad: Marry the person whose bad habits you'd miss.

2) An old boss: If you want a client/colleague to like you, ask them for their advice. They'll be fooled into thinking you respect their opinion.

Number 2 is gold. Have not yet been able to test number 1.

Apologies for length, but I'd really appreciate your thoughts on it.
