With 45 revolutions around that trusty ol sun, I've finally learned that some of these phrases we've all heard carry some heavy knowledge.
Walking by (appropriately enough) a marijuana dispensary, i espied a poster in their window with a beautiful phrase that i try to recall in my dealings with other people, especially that stranger with the mean-mugging eyes.
I'd love to see this thread expand into a collection of these oft heard expressions. Here's a few I've found especially wise and practical. First, the verbiage from the poster in the dispensary window:
"EVERYONE IS FIGHTING A BATTLE YOU CAN'T SEE---
BE KIND.

While I'm at it, here's a couple more I find especially useful in dealing with humans:
"don't lean on anyone else if you don't want to fall." ( paraphrased from a sticker.lol)
This Confucian phrase, from what I understand regards political intrigue, but it's simply stated wisdom extends into dealings with the treachery of some two legged creatures:
"those whoknow do not speak and those that speak do not know "so Share away, nexians!
