Best Advice Ever - Fall River Press
The last thing anybody wants to do is take advice from a person they don’t know, or from a lot of people they don’t know. So why read a book filled with nothing but advice from strangers?
Because in this book we have culled quotations from some of the smartest, most creative, and most innovative people in the world. Trust us, you’ll want to listen to what they have to say. There is virtually no problem that isn’t covered in some way by the quotes here. The selections are grouped according to themes such as challenges, family, friends, fun, good choices, kindness, knowledge, success, technology, and growing up. The speakers include activists, artists, celebrities, inventors, journalists, military leaders, musicians, philosophers, poets, pop stars, presidents, athletes, Supreme Court justices, and writers.
And what do these impressive speakers have to say about life? Kevin Durant reminds us that kindness doesn’t mean weakness; Jimmy Fallon says it’s okay to be silly; Pope Francis reveals how he tries to make good choices; Derek Jeter reminds us to work hard but to have fun; Pink recalls battles with her mom when she was growing up; Steven Spielberg cautions us about the downside of technology; and Taylor Swift tells us how to deal with haters.
History’s heavy hitters, such as Jane Austen, Cicero, and Robert E. Lee, reflect on the meaning of friendship; Helen Keller reveals her secret to happiness; Theodore Roosevelt explains the value of time management; Walt Whitman shares the benefits of giving.
The advice, tips, and wisdom in this book are certainly not limited to teens, and you should consider sharing them with the adults in your life, because, after all, everybody needs good advice. So put down your phone and read on. I hope that the words in these pages will make you think, make you smile, and inspire you to follow your dreams.

—Theodor Geisel (a.k.a. Dr. Seuss)
It takes courage to grow up and become who you really are.
—e. e. cummings
All of my favorite people—people I really trust—none of them were cool in their younger years.
—Taylor Swift
I was a sidelines child: never class president, never team captain, never the one with the most valentines in my box.
—Lois Lowry
Nothing could be as hard as middle school.
—Zooey Deschanel
I never felt comfortable with myself, because I was never part of the majority. I always felt awkward and shy and on the outside of the momentum of my friends’ lives.
—Steven Spielberg
I went through a lot in middle school, and you always try so many different looks and try to be so many different people. I finally realized I’m awkward, I’m lanky, and I’m going to embrace it—make fun of myself and just laugh.
—Ireland Baldwin
I was obsessed with being popular in high school and never achieved it. There’s photos from our high school musicals, and I’m comically in the deep background, wearing a beggar’s costume.
—Mindy Kaling
It is hard to convince a high school student that he will encounter a lot of problems more difficult than those of algebra and geometry.

I went to a high school reunion a couple years ago and realized that the kids who were the most unusual in high school are the ones who are the most interesting now and the ones who were popular are dull and boring.
—Anderson Cooper
A friend of mine told me he routinely attends all of his high school reunions so he can apologize to every person he mistreated back then. He’s now on his fortieth reunion and still apologizing.
—Kareem Abdul-Jabbar
It happens to everyone as they grow up. You find out who you are and what you want, and then you realize that people you’ve known forever don’t see things the way you do. So you keep the wonderful memories, but find yourself moving on.
—Nicholas Sparks
If you’ve been to high school, chances are you’ve got a yearbook lying around that’s full of enough cringe-worthy quotes and photos to mortify you until your dying day.
—Tina Fey
My mom took
