Old sayings that are actually solid advice at every age
| "My grandpa once told me 'if you get on the wrong train, get off at the nearest station, the longer it takes you to get off, the more expensive the return trip will be.' He wasn't talking about trains."
| Do the right thing, even if nobody is watching.
| Be nice to everybody you meet on the way up the ladder. You'll see the same faces on the way down.
| It doesn't matter what path you're on if it's the wrong mountain.
| how empty.
define dreams and ambitions.
| Sigh, I wished these were true but they aren’t.

This implies a need to eat them. Many people are mean to outsiders but happy because they have stable social things.
>>1052272
This one is really true. But maybe more fear makes people stay on the train longer.
>>1052273
Yeah agreed
>>1052274
Usually not true because it’s such a big world and not everyone goes down.
>>1052275
Hah!
I like’ trying the same thing and expecting different results is the definition of insanity’
| "Don't feed the trolls" is an excellent advice and I'm happy to see someone taking it to heart. >>9216d1 You're based OP.
| its dumb but ive always tried to live by bill and teds "be excellent to each other, party on dudes"
| >>1052305
I take it english isn't your first or second language because some of your replies are so far off-topic it's actually kinda funny.
>This implies
I believe in the importance of accountability in our words. Whether someone agrees or not, kindness is never wasted.
>Usually not true because
I stand by that advice. It's about fostering genuine connections and recognizing that our paths are interconnected and if shit hits the fan for you everyone will remember how you acted.

I don't think that's a dumb outlook to have but rather a based one and I try to follow the same morale.
| >>1052327
Thanks! But I'm not sure she's a troll, might just be some negative nancy or middle school kid or something.
| This is thread is awful.
| "Do what you can, with what you've got, where you are."
| >>1052332
I'm glad I made you smile :-) I guess it wasn't wasted then ;-)
I still think they're kinda wrong, for instance if you were kind to a rabid dog, that would be wasted, but in a sense I guess you could say no kindness actually comes out of that since the dog does not benefit. But I'm feeling a little bad about arguing now, but also a little silly :-)
>>1052335
awww thanks
>>1052348
I like how grounding this is. That's something I've been wanting to be more of lately.
| oh and I do think it's a really nice thread! I meant it about the quote I shared at the end of here- >>1052305
hmmm another quote...
"she who cuts her own wood warms herself twice" has a cute ring to it, but of course it's not always true. I think sometimes it is though because the feeling you're making the problem better makes the solution seem better, like a nice meal you made yourself.
| "Y'll should cut, it will make this world a better place"
| >>1052349
>I still think they're kinda wrong, for instance if you were kind to a rabid dog
You can't be for real? What kind of non-argument is that? I'm not even gonna waste any effort responding directly to such nonsense.

Maybe practice what you preach before telling others, miss queen of unsolicated opinions.
| I like "While trying to pick a flower, mind the risk of becoming fertilizer".
There's also "When your only tool's a hammer, all problems will look like nails".
Chesterton gave us "Never take down a fence until you know why it was put there", too.
"The early bird may get the worm, but it's the second mouse that gets the cheese" is a good one too.
A personal favorite is "If stupid people are in power, it means they're well represented"
| You only live once.
| "A hole is a hole."
| Everybody is trying to find the right person, but nobody is trying to be the right person
| >>1052460
That one relates to the fertilizer and flower because if you’re a flower you can’t be fertilizer perhaps

| >>1052717 rich of you to think you have a purpose either here or anywhere in life, you fucking retard. i'd tell you to kill yourself but you'd botch even that.
| I like that you stood up for me but I don’t think standing up for others has to be toxic
| >>1052752
it doesn't have to be toxic, but that doesn't mean i didnt enjoy it because i did. >>d73827 is based for standing up to others the way she does
| "Half of the harm that is done in this world is due to people who want to feel important"
Not really sage advice but sage wisdom.
| >>1052778
This was the whole point of how to win friends and influence people! Give people ways to feel important by doing what you want!
>>1052756
Aww hug hug but you’re pretty and don’t need to be mean to get attention in case you think that!
