Seen on the wall of a bar in Milledgeville, Georgia:

"Always do sober what you said you'd do drunk. That will teach you to keep your mouth shut." -- Ernest Hemingway.

The Columbia World of Quotations confirms the existence of the statement, but attributes it instead to Charles Scribner, Jr., Hemingway's publisher. Either way, it's good advice.
