Some original, some "borrowed"...

1) The odds of a team mate being AFK is directly proportional to his tonnage.
2) "Friendly Fire" isn't.
3) If the enemy is in range, SO ARE YOU! (LRM boats take note)
4) You are not invulnerable (Atlases take double note).
5) Nothing is as annoying as an enemy Jenner behind you.
6) No plan survives contact with the enemy.
7) Audaces fortuna juvat (Fortune favors the bold).
7a)So does LRM and Atlas targeting.
8) Anything you can do might get you killed. This includes doing nothing.
9) If it's stupid but it works, it ain't stupid.
10)Professional soldiers are predictable but the world is full of amateurs.

Any others?

Never hide behind something interesting.
If it caught your eye, the enemy will notice it too.

If you create a zero-heat Gauss boat, you will only ever get to play it on Frozen City.

If you are the last man standing on your team, and you aren't in a Jenner, the last man on the other team, IS in a Jenner.....and you've had one of your legs crippled.

[CSHubert]

Yeah:

If a Hunchback seems to hunt you... He proberbly do (Atlas take note again)

[Deathspore]

How about...

The number of obstacles your mech can hide behind is inversely proportional to the amount of firepower being thrown at it.

Just when you think you have a powerful mech, your enemy has an even more powerful one.

And the next line behind friendly fire isn't should read...

Dead mechs are....

Bullets have the right of way.

If you are the last man standing with an Atlas, the enemy is capping your base.

If you are the last man standing with a Jenner, the enemy is going to simply run to their base and wait for you.

If your whole team goes right their whole team will go left AND have more speed than you.

Nice work, saved my morning :-)

Tracer fire works both ways.

Learn from the mistakes of others. You won't live long enough to make them all yourself.

Good judgement comes from experience but experience comes from bad judgement.

Ox, that's probably the truest of the true right there.

Corollary: At least half of your team will be in Atlases.

If enemy IS NOT in range, you probably still are.

As well as plan's author.

Autocannon - Isn't
Long range Missiles - Aren't
Jump Jets - Won't
When in doubt, alpha strike.
Heat Vision doesn't work in a hot environment.
Jenners are naturally attracted to the legs of Assault Mechs. While it may be possible to ward off this event some of the time, it cannot, despite the best efforts of the pilot, always be prevented. It's just what they do.
It is a bad thing to run out of armour, structure and ideas all at the same time.
