I wouldn't dare defile Douglas Adam's memory by not mentioning that you should keep a towel with you at all times, but my second contender is a surprisingly short three-parter:

  1. never lie.
  2. never tell the whole truth.
  3. never pass up a chance to use a real bathroom.

Think before you speak, I speak without thinking and it's got me in trouble for petty things. Using WE over YOU is extremely valuable.. even when you had nothing to do with the problem it is OUR problem.

"We" should vacuum the house! *wink* *wink*

I’ve found that one of the best ways to ensure I think before I speak, is to pause before I speak.

A wise teacher told me to carry a bottle of water, always.

Nobody will stop you from taking a sip, which is really an excuse to pause.
