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 OK
slightly tenuous but I have always found the last words of General Ramón Maria Narváez,

"I do not have to forgive my enemies, I have had them all shot."

(said to the priest who asked him as he was dying to forgive his enemies)

a wonderful piece of advice.

Given he died in 1868 I assume this counts as advice from an old person?
