  1. Show me a person who eats just one potato chip and I'll show you a liar.
    - An ancient proverb

  2. Here's one for you.

    In #German, there's a #Saying that is about having to brush a hedgehog, "einen Igel zu bürsten." It's means having tedious work to do, or is an excuse to not show up to some gathering because of the alleged hedgehog to brush.

    But in the region I grow up, there's a very different meaning to that.
    Because, the term brushing (so, "bürsten" but with an sh-sound instead of the usual s-sound) can be used to describe…having sex.
    Thus, brushing a hedgehog can be some fun.

  14. There's a #German #Saying that is almost always translated with "thinking outside the box", and I think that's wrong because the saying literally goes "to look over one's own plate's edge."

    So, a better translation would be "to look outside your own bubble", and that's what everyone should do from time to time.

    Seriously, it's needed to see, and understand what other people in the world experience.
    How they see things.
    Especially your things.
    Inside your bubble.
    The world is changing.
    Wake up.

  24. "There is a #beautiful #saying, that #Sufism was at #first #heartache. Only later it became something to talk about because, as I have mentioned, Sufism is about this #love #affair with #God that #begins within the #heart and #ends within the #Heart"

  25. A quotation from Ambrose Bierce

    ADAGE, n. A hoary-headed platitude that is kicked along the centuries until nothing is left of it but its clothes. A “saw” which has worn out its teeth on the human understanding.

    Ambrose Bierce (1842-1914?) American writer and journalist
    “Adage,” “Devil’s Dictionary” column, San Francisco Wasp (1881-03-05)
