Today's proverb: Behind every disaster, there's a thousand small mistakes. Like, why did you use the non permanent marker for your horsie drawing? Now the ink will smudge when you drip it in soup for making your special potion...

"A man is washed clean with a glass of water, but the entire sea can't clean a woman."

—Albanian Proverb.

Meaning: Men are easily forgiven for the same mistakes with a small gesture, while women face ongoing judgment, revealing unfair expectations based on gender. This proverb shines a light on sexism within a culture, illustrating unequal forgiveness based on gender and emphasizing the need for awareness and change.

Give a man a fish and he’ll be like, “gross, get that fish away from me!” Teach a man to fish, and he’ll be like, “you?” “Again?” “What’s your deal?”

* You're not responsible for every thought that comes in and out of your head. They're not necessarily within your control, not initially anyways.

It is within your power, however, to decide which ones you want to hold on to and those you wish to discard.

You're responsible for observing thoughts that flow inward and choosing whether or not you act on them, buy into them, or take ownership of them.

"We are here, and this is now." Constable Visit, a strict believer in the Omnian religion, occasionally quoted from their holy book. Vimes understood it to mean, in less exalted copperspeak, that you have to do the job that is in front of you.

I am here, Vimes thought, and this is then.

Terry Pratchett, Night Watch

外国的月亮比较圆 - “the moon is rounder in other countries”

A funny phrase I learned today, the equivalent of “the grass is always greener on the other side”!

Do you feel that way sometimes too? 🌝

King Zeus, give us fine things whether we pray for them or not; Keep from us woes, even if we ask them. Ζεῦ βασιλεῦ, τὰ μὲν ἐσθλὰ καὶ εὐχομένοις καὶ ἀνεύκτοις ἄμμι δίδου: τὰ δὲ λυγρὰ καὶ εὐχομένων ἀπερύκοις. -Anth. Pal. 10.108 ~ [Plato], Alcibiades II 143a

Revenge is a dish best served cold. A grilled cheese is a dish best served hot, unless it's a revenge grilled cheese, in which case that also should be cold.
