What is or are, some of the MOST important ' life lessons ' YOU have learned ... so far ?

Examples:

To every action is a reaction .

There are consequences to our actions & inactions.

I never learn. I keep making the same mistakes over and over. I'm a glutton for punishment.

Not what you say it's what you do

I love that one! * A good one for parents also*

How many these you want? If something sounds too good to be true?it usually is

I 've learnt that the hearts of men/women are deceitful above all things and desperately wicked

Haahaa...here's one from my dad: "There is no such thing as a free lunch"oh and this one too: "where ever you go?there you are"

I heard this ^^^ once before. But can not remember where ? Message me if you have the authors name .

**** happens...

Stupid censorer thingy...

S-h-*-t happens...

That's similar to my favorite response to people asking me where I live..."Wherever I am".

Will Rogers' "too many people spend money they haven't earned to buy things they don't want to impress people they don't like."

Or (Author, rather than Hitch) Will Smith's “We spend money that we do not have, on things we do not need, to impress people who do not care.”

Or Dave Ramsey's "We buy things we don't need with money we don't have to impress people we don't like."

Government doesn't help. And really not that necessary in an age of instantaneous community or global communication.

Equality and progress are myths. No one really wants equality, only to be judged "good" by as many people as possible.
There is never progress, only change to try and hide how there is no real progress.

Arson IS fun.

Most feelings of security are false. What keeps an individual the most safe is just being one of the herd.
