And I think getting stupidly drunk a few times in our lives teaches us important lessons in humility.

Absolutely. The trick is remembering what the hell you did...

Not a saying but a story, but it's been on my mind lately, the punch line.


"Mr. Snake, why did you do that? Now I will surely die!" The rattlesnake looked up at him and grinned, "You knew what I was when you picked me up."

Buddhist Proverbs
When the mind discriminates, there is manifoldness of things; when it does not, it looks into the true state of things.

Swedish Proverbs
Fear less, hope more;
whine less, breathe more;
talk less, say more;
hate less, love more;
and all good things are yours.

اتــق شر الحليم اذا غضب

Its kinda like "Still waters run deep" if you look at it from my view

Arabic proverbs cut like a slaughterhouse's knife, man this one has always rang true...

اذا اكرمت الكريم ملكته واذا اكرمت اللئيم تمردا

So many good deeds I have done to some people and ended up being taken advantage of, and also the other way around, so many good deeds I have done to some people and ended up with friends for LIFE

When I told my Somali grandmother about a certain triflin' cousin who fucked me up when I did a GOOD thing for him, thats what she said to me,,,,it hit me on my chest like a brick. I'm always dramatic lol its no wonder why I react to Arabic proverbs so emotionally

Indeed!

Less is more

"When you reach that degree of wisdom, which prompts you to see less of the weaknesses of others and more of your own, then you will be walking in the company of the really great."

"A great leader is he who, with maturity, kindness and empathy leads by suggestions and guidance rather than by force."

"When all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail."

"Adjustability, adoptability and adaptability are the best ways for a better inter-personal relationship."

"Seek the counsel of men who will tell you the truth about yourself, even if it hurts you to hear it. Mere commendation will not bring the improvement you need."

"Is it not strange that we fear most that which never happens, or exists! And we destroy our initiative by the fear of defeat/failure when, in reality, defeat/failure is the most useful tonic for attaining the success eventually."

"Life is a meaningless nightmare of suffering. Save string."

"What we see depends mainly on what we look for."
