My latest:
A Virus/Worm or Malware are not the only things to cause your computer or applications to Slow or freeze. Consider also your hardware: mismatched memory or a faulty HDD, or overheating CPU or PSU are a few of the likely's. Even as likely a recent install or Update could also be responsable..
And:
Good tools are very hard to come by: Take very Good care of them, treat them with respect, and keep them well maintained.. OH and be sure to pay at the counter.. (I refer to software tools, use for testing only, keep them updated, and dont be a pirate)

Here is my tip:
Security is practice not an art. Knowing about vulnerability but yet not responding to it by patching the system or updating your Firewall or AV, would only make your system in a black and dusky future, just as a completely black painting. Learn and then Apply.
-
Computers can be abused in many ways. Learn how to and then secure your computer not only for your personal data on it, but also to make sure that your computer can not be abused against any other system. Having a computer connected to any sort of network brings along responsibility.

Ok, another one:
Shouting "Wench, fetch me another beer!" at your wife on any day except your birthday can be hazardous to your health.
:D
-
Security policies do no good if they are not implemented and enforced.
-
Never, ever, underestimate the importance of physical security.
-
Don't just tell users what to do, explain why you need them to do it.
-
the USER is the biggest risk to security, Educate them and you have increased your security 100 times over.
-
You can get the best best best firewall in the whole wide world, you can make permissions strict as crap, but some user on your network has their password on a sticky note on the monitor. There is no patch for user stupidity, learn about social engineering.

Alright I have another one I tell everyone.
Deleted isn't.
