"Time waits for nobody. Virtue is not enough. Fortuna is fickle and malevolence cannot be soothed by presents."
(I know optimism, idealism and many other -isms are important for kids/teenagers and a positive outlook on life supposedly helps with resilience...but sometimes I wish I had gotten advice more like this. Or maybe sentences like these only ring true with life-experience? ?)

Tsubame I think truly understanding a truth like this requires a certain amount of life experience, the ability to reflect upon oneself and having at least started to grow up. But maybe I'm wrong... I guess is hard to tell and up to the individual in the end. 8y
DeborahSmall @HijackMe @Tsubame I would have preferred sentiments like this as a teenager but definitely depends on your upbringing and experiences 8y
