Thanks for watching! Any great proverbs we missed?
A stitch in time saves nine.
The happiness of your life depends upon the quality of your thoughts.
If you wait by a river long enough, the bodies of your enemies will float by.
For the one who has conquered the mind, the mind is the best of friends; but for the one who has failed to do so, his very mind will be his greatest enemy.

@@foreyfriend145 Mice are not (fact). The Chimpanzee and bonobo are (fact), nice try ass wipe, psh keep moving.
"Before preparing to improve the world, first look around your own home three times."
That hit hard.
Imagine being Einstein who has not done that.
Sounds like a Jordan Peterson quote, 'Tidy your own bedroom first.'
In polish we have similar phrase but maybe more straightforward: " If you plan to change the world, begin from yourself"
一屋不扫何以扫天下。If you don't sweep a house, how can you sweep the world?

They are not talking about light or darkness. Logically, instead of giving reason try to come up with solution.
@꧁.꧂𝐒𝖊𝖑𝖆𝖍 333꧁_꧂ how do you make your name look like that?
To answer your question, I guess the collective flame never goes out entirely even if your own personal flame does. Hopefully, somebody will come along and relight your's rather than curse you. By you, I'm speaking in general terms.

Yeah dont argue with them, just punch them
@A dumbbnb people can be stupid
It is better to ask a stupid question than to commit a stupid mistake.

How it has helped you ? Let us give some perspective.
Whoever gossips to you will gossip about you. Ain't that the ever living truth.
Oh yeah. Never a truer word.
Oh, I don't know about that; no one gossips to me (or talk to me), but I know they talk about me.
@@count7340 Quem traz também leva.
Yes,most of the times
@@count7340 that's different. The quote states that IF someone gossips to you they will gossip about you. It doesn't mean the reverse. It never said that someone who gossips about you would necessarily gossip to you.

“For every minute you are angry you lose sixty seconds of happiness.”
For every 60 seconds, a minute passes in Africa.
@@floatingchimney
How accurate!
On the equator things rotate. In the frame of reference of an observer on the north pole for example, the people on the equator accelerates constantly.
When a minute passes for the guy on the north pole, 60 seconds and a bit more passes for the guy on the equator.
When reflection makes a person count, the first step should be gratefulness and the rest shall be added. -fw

"The hands that help are far better than the lips that pray" - Robert Green Ingersoll
False dialectic, do both. Saint Augustine recites this ridiculous dialectical idea: “pray as though everything depended on God, work as though everything depended on you.” Compatibility, not dialectical tension.
@@lyricalmike7162 Oh shut up
3:20 "Write the bad things that are done to you in sand, but write the things that happen to you on a piece of marble."
This is very beautiful for its deep meaning. Why does it says to write the bad things that happen to us in sand? So that the wind would blow it away and we won't think about it anymore. Instead, we look on the bright side of our life and write the good things that happen to us on a piece of marble. So we could cherish and remember those good moments thus being grateful.
Great explanation 👍🏼
But aren't "bad things done to you" also technically things that happen to you?
@@HarryPotter-pi3km yeah, things that happen to us in a way that we recall it as a bad thing or a bad memory.
I imagine the voice actor sitting in a dark stone dungeon lit by a single candle, and every so often a scrap of paper is slipped under his cell door with the next video's script.

@@briankfs they were conquered because they didn't have a clock, turned up for the battle after it was over.
Stupid chief he doesnt get that daylight time has more value.
P J they weren’t conquered. You think of battles and strength. Instead there was only lies and weakness. The Europeans could not make them slaves so they genocided most of them. Lots of creepy ignorant comments on this thread.
The narrator's voice us so calming and authoritative at the same time! Loved the proverbs.
The simpler the words, the deeper the proverbs resonates.
Thank you again brother.

The sadness, the joy.

So true. Ignorance really is bliss sometimes
