What advice/cliches started making more sense as you got older?

[Neo. The Only. The One.]

One day an old bull and a young bull were sitting on a hill looking at all the cows grazing in the field. The young bull says "Let's go down there and f#$# one of these cows!"

The old bull stops him and says "No youngblood, let's go down there and f#$# ALL the cows."

Just cuz you get her don't mean you got her. You need to be the tutor and school her. Make love to that medula and you can have the whole meal from the roota to the toota.

“give a dog an inch and he’ll damn sure take a mile”

5th grade teacher used to say this…only the 2nd black male teacher I had at the time

seen him at the OG million man march years later

but ya anyway I didn’t get it at the time and used to get mad thinking he was comparing us (the class) to dogs but as I got older I understood what he meant perfectly

another expression that took me a real long time to properly understand is “the road to hell is paved with good intentions”…I heard it used in movies a lot but still never really grasped it til I got older and dealt with certain ppl

Slow and steady wins the race?

I was thinking of The Tortoise and the Hare today.

That really was a lesson for life. I wish I paid more attention to it growing up.

Just take your time. Do things deliberately. Over the years, consistent work will pay off way more than anything else in your life.

“It’s cheaper to keep her.”
“Once you tell someone, it’s no longer a secret.”
“Lie down with dogs and wake up with fleas.”
“If you lie you cheat and if you cheat you steal.”

One day at a time. Just because yesterday was bad or I made a bad decision doesn’t mean I have to continue to make the same mistakes as yesterday. Learn from your mistakes is another one.

"Write it on your heart that every day is the best day in the year. He is rich who owns the day, and no one owns the day who allows it to be invaded with fret and anxiety. Finish every day and be done with it. You have done what you could. Some blunders and absurdities, no doubt, crept in. Forget them as soon as you can, tomorrow is a new day; begin it well and serenely, with too high a spirit to be cumbered with your old nonsense. This new day is too dear, with its hopes and invitations, to waste a moment on the yesterdays."

One of my favorite Ralph Waldo Emerson quotes.
