Drops of Wisdom: What quote or saying has stuck with you? 💡

[Administrator]

A member recently suggested we start a discussion for sharing wise sayings, and I think it's a fantastic idea. We have a lot of collective life experience in this community, and I'd love to tap into it.

We all have those quotes, mottos, or pieces of advice that have stuck with us over the years. Maybe it's something a mentor told you, a line from a book, a historical quote, or just a practical rule of thumb you live by.

Drop your favorite words of wisdom below. Feel free to explain why it means something to you, or just let the quote speak for itself.

What's a saying that you carry with you?

I'll start...

"Control your emotions, or they will control you."

I read that in Bruce Lee's, "Tao of Jeet Kune Do" many years ago - and it stuck with me.
