If your captain is a decent sort, but he leaves you behind, he probably had a pretty compelling reason. He'll be back. Try not to get yourself set on fire while you're waiting.
If you can't fix it, bypass it. If you can't bypass it, you'd better have a spare.
Hitting someone with a closed fist can hurt, but it is, on occasion, hilarious.
Sometimes kissing can lead to unpleasantness.
Always have a plan B.
Don't get greedy. You could end up getting smacked upside the head with a wrench and maybe thrown out of an airlock.
Never underestimate the destructive powers of a stressed-out teenage girl.
If you're a married man, never praise another woman's cooking, unless you never want to have sex again.
No matter how carefully you plan, things almost never go smooth.
Never say 'no' to a man whose got you trussed up near an engine intake.

Ha ha!
Okay, lets see.
Cows are very neat and tidy creatures.
If Jayne can have a crappy town where he’s a hero, then so can I.
Alliance is no longer just a word for a fictional government, but a derogatory word for anyone not on my side.

It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.

Okay, here goes:
1. If someone tries to kill you, you try to kill 'em right back.
2. A Catalyzer is a nothing part until you don't got one.
3. Sniff the air; don't kiss the dirt.
4. When cows see sky they remember what they are.
5. Wheel never stops turning. That only matters to people on the rim.
6. What going mad feels like.
7. Live with a man forty years, share his house, his meals, speak on every subject, then tie him up and hold him over the volcano's edge and on that day you will finally meet the man.
8. A man learns all the details of a situation... Well, then he has a choice.
9. Never kiss 'em on the mouth.
And
10. Little Kaylee is always a man short.

If you need to know about crime and violence, just ask a preacher.
The payoff is NOT repeat NOT always the point.
If your ship doesn't have a keel, then improvise.
You can make a decent six string guitar body out of mud, but a hat, not so much.
You can live on prepackaged food indefinitely with a sufficient supply of dried rosemary.
You don't play a player.
When the doctor tells you that you should sit down, listen.
No matter how far from home you end up, you never outgrow playing with toy dinosaurs, ever.
Nothing gets between a woman and her strawberry. Nothing.
and finally...
Just because you are on the losing side doesn't mean that you're on the wrong one.
Keep flying.

Always cut your apples before biting them
Don't get drunk unless you're sure no one is planning a marriage
Remember what the doctors do because someday they'll be gone
Be quick to answer
If the captain doesn't want you along on the mission, it's probably best to stay behind
Never underestimate the ability of the mentally unstable
No matter what - stick with your crew - they're all you've got

Why don't you just take him to the volcano on Day 1? It'd save a lot of time.
Serenity is NOT le se.
Jayne looks better in red.
If you're still flyin', it's enough.
Zoe can kill with her pinky.
Never, ever, let Zoe sneak up behind you.
You probably don't want to meet "the real Mal". He's pretty pissed off.

If the ship speaks to you, listen...
Brothers take so much taking care of...
Too much hair hurts the brain...

God doesn't care how pretty you are, or if you have a chiseled chin.
Every man who ever had a statue made of him was some kind of sumbitch or another.
Hospital clerks really don't care what methods you used to try to bring 'em back.
Watch out for that chain of command.
Not having the proper registry number on the bow can get you a citation.
Offering to trade weapons for women results in your not being taken seriously.
When the heat is on, keep things in Captain Dummy-talk.
Sometimes you understand how a thing works, but not why it's there.
It's fine to be morbid and creepifying as long as you don't scare the cattle.
The Good Book is fuzzy on the subject of kneecaps.

Mathematics can be fatal.
Never dis Serenity when Kaylee's within earshot.
Grenades cost extra.
Russian submariners ain't the only ones who do 'Crazy Ivans'.

There's no sound in space. Okay, I already knew that one, but there hasn't been a TV show or movie that I can recall where the spaceships didn't go 'whoosh'. Except for 2001: A Space Odyssey.
Thrilling heroics apparently includes some kind of theft.
Fighting uses up air.
Beagles have smallish droppings.
Robbing a train is as easy as lying.
Shipboard romances tend to complicate things.
When a man engages in clandestine dealings, he likes things to go smooth.
The human body can be drained of blood in 8.6 seconds, given adequate vacuuming systems.
Wash and Zoe are very private people. Except for Wash.
It's good to have cargo.
Any job worth doing, is worth doing for free if it makes an adversary look all manner of stupid.
