1. "If you never heal from what hurt you, you'll bleed on people who didn't cut you."

–Advnchur
3. "'Never play chess with a pigeon. It knocks all the pieces over, shits all over the board, then walks around like it's won.' This is a good thing to remember before you start an argument with someone."

—Idklisasfs
10. "If you raise your kids, you can spoil your grandchildren; however, if you spoil your kids, you will have to raise your grandchildren."
—ColuiIlLui
11. "In the end, we will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends."
—Zekumi
12. "It's possible to commit no mistakes and still lose. That's not weakness, that's life."
—Retroxyl
13. "Just because you can, doesn’t mean you should and just because it’s comfortable, doesn’t meant it’s good."
—MinPadThai
14. "Measure twice, cut once."

—SunnyH20
22. "You don’t need to light yourself on fire to keep others warm."
—Ziograffiato
23. "'To worry is to pay a debt of misery that may never come due.' Basically, accept inevitable outcomes and do your best to change changeable outcomes to your liking, but know that worrying does nothing."
—Dickcheese_McDoogles

Build a man a fire, and he's warm for a day.
Set him on fire, and he's warm for the rest of his life.

It's better to be silent and thought a fool than to speak and remove all doubt.

"Life is not fair. Deal with it"
"Discrimination and racism will always exist because people are people. Be discerning, challenge it when you are sure, but do not use their existence as an excuse to not achieve your best"
"You are inherently unique, but not inherently special. Your physical attributes, attitudes, and skills make you unique. The actions you choose to take with them are what will make you special - in both good and bad ways. So choose your actions wisely"
From my parents as we grew up
