What wise words stick in your mind whilst navigating your way through life?
My two:
Fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me.
Never go to sleep on an argument.

"Can't fully remember how it goes but
"If you are too busy looking back, you miss out on the opportunities ahead"
X
Heard similar in Vikings. “Don’t look back you are not going that way”"
Yes, love it, backwards is not a place to revisit x |

"Never lie to someone who trusts you and never trust someone who lies to you. "
 had a great big lie thrown my way this afternoon in work, all trust broke. People will do anything to get their own way  |

You can only piss with the dick you've got.
No plan survives first contact.
These have been hard lessons to learn for someone who likes things a very specific way as I've envisaged them. But that is the reality, the world as is nature and science is chaotic, not orde_ed like we'd sometimes like it to be. Life is a learning curve.

Oh and people who can't be trusted themselves can rarely trust others. So if your partner keeps accusing you of cheating (and your not) question the origins of that lack of trust? |

They've been caught out, so luckily they'll be called out on it tomorrow, so will be resolved, just probably cause some friction. I've no time for drama llamas x |

Three people to avoid in life: liars, lazy, and thieves. If they’re one, there’s a good chance they’ll either have, or develop the other traits. Been bang on so far! |

If you can’t say something nice, say nothing at all
What is meant to be, will be (my mum brought me up to believe that everything happens for a reason, even the shitty stuff) |

That sleeping on an argument one you mentioned - I always used to need to sort things right here and now, but more recently in life I've worked out that it's occasionally better to take your time and work out what the argument was about, calm down, look at the cause and resolve it rather than plaster over cracks....
I think the older I get the less wise words I have, and also the less rules I stick to, but I'd consider that wisdom in a funny sort of way....  |

I get what you mean. I like time to think things through, but I can't sleep if something is bothering me, I'd rather talk it through and hug it out. I'll just have to make sure all arguments take place before midday to give me processing time to sort it out before bed

For me there is no need to hold negativity negativity makes you feel bad. I try and accept the things that happen, even though it sometimes is hard, but learn and move forward |

Grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change.
The courage to change the things I cannot accept.
And the wisdom to hide the bodies of those I had to kill today.
Because they got on my nerves. |

Haha, you dont look like much of an arguer? But then maybe that makes making up difficult too. I can rage and hate you and then be your best mate again inside of ten minutes, life really is to short for drawn out disagreements, that's one thing I definitely am aware of, given my past life..... Xx |

My two favourites are...."Keep your nose clean and your mind Dirty" and "Gravity, don`t let it get you Down" |

From a very rich, self made person..
It doesn't matter what you do in life, just that you do it well, because there are so many cowboys out there that doing it well gets you noticed |
