Old pinned picture from my old (now abandoned) twitter that I really wanted to keep here.

Tried my best to fit all the sayings and remarks in the alt text, but had to cut some of it to fit in 1500 characters (all the sayings should be in there though).

A tumblr screenshot with a bunch of sayings. no space to show all text but: the phrase “curiosity killed the cat” is actually not the full phrase t actually s ‘curiosity killed the cat but satisfaction brought it back” so don't let anyone tell you not to be-a curious little baby okay go and be interested in the world uwu See also Blood is thicker than water- The blood of the covenant is thicker than the water of the womb. Meaning that relationships formed by choice are stronger than those formed by birth Lets not forget that “Jack of all trades, master of none" ends with ‘But better than a master of one.” It means that being equally good/average at everything is much better than being perfect at one thing and sucking at everything else. So don't worry if you're not perfect at something you do! Being okay is better! Also, great minds think like’ ends with “but fools rarely differ” It goes to show that conformity isnt always a good thing And that just because more than one person has the same idea, doesnt necessarily mean it's a good idea “Birds of a feather flock together” ends with ‘until the cat comes:” its actually a warning about fair-weather frends,not an assessment of how complementary people are The early bird catches the worm, but the second mouse gets the cheese. Funny how all the halffinished ones encourage uniformity and upholding the status-quo, while the complete proverbs encourage living exciting, eclectic lives driven by choice and personal passion
