I just read an ancient Japanese proverb ‘Plant a tree if you want to catch a fish’. I was trying to figure out what it meant, only to find it’s literal, as in the interconnection in the environment (anyone still awake?). Anyway, I started to think of sayings, proverbs, adages whatever, and wondered if anyone has any they find true, useful, abide by etc? I personally like ‘Be as lenient with the faults of others as you are with your own’ which is tricky for me as I’m nigh on fucking perfect. Also, ‘It is better to live humbly for a cause, than to die nobly’ which always makes me think (a bit dramatically) of the rebrand, the people who stuck with it, and now support a team playing in blue.
Proverbs, adages etc...
