I told this one to my daughter tonight:
Beans, beans, they’re good for your heart
The more you eat, the more you fart
The more fart, the better you feel
So eat your beans at every meal
Dear god, I’ve become my father.

Hahaha!!! I just taught my kids this extremely wise bit of advice, but slightly differently:
Beans, beans, the magical fruit
The more you eat, the more you toot
The more you toot, the better you feel
So, eat beans at every meal!
It’s weird though cuz we don’t call them toots, we call them what they are… FARTS! I like yours better lol. I think I’ll borrow it.

I think this is a paraphrase from Hamlet. The full quote from the play is.
‘There is nothing either good or evil but thinking makes it so’.
Which i find interesting because good and evil are subjective but life and death are not(in and out if the context of the play).

I once listened to a really good sermon where the pastor was talking about his grandma’s words/advice to him when she found out she had cancer and she kept saying the same thing every time things got worse for her

In reality there’s very little we can do for some of the circumstances in our lives. The best thing we can do is brush it off and try to enjoy what we can day by day.

I keep a quotebook that I update each time I find a quote that speaks to me.
Philosophical razors are nice eg.
Hitchens razor: What can be asserted without evidence can be dismissed without evidence.
Popper’s falsifiability principle: For a theory to be considered scientific, it must be possible to disprove or refute it.
Then I’ll pick some random ones as a sampling:

‘Does this need to be said?’
‘Does this need to be said by me?’
‘Does this need to be said by me now?’”
