So true, I have so many regrets especially when i was younger i really wasted my youth...i know i can never go back and make better choices/decisions to better my life. Please folks if you are young make sure not to fuck up your life with bad decisions! Life gets much much harder later on, all the right choices will pay off with time. Just my view
Never reveal everything about your life to people. Only say what is needed to be said, even to keep the peace as a sharp tongue can destroy in seconds. Silence speaks volumes.
Hmm for me it's the opposite. I want to get to know the real you so I don't waste time figuring out that you are a waste of time. For me it's a sign of confidence. Hesitation to be who you are is a sign of weakness to me.
my interpretation is that you now have to return the favor as paying for it instead of cash, and that favor could be much more costly than the item itself was worth.
@@brianl8481 "Perfection" doesn't imply literally, it just means be the best that you can be for your sake and the sake of others. If you just wanna be a douche then enjoy being lonely
I would never be someone's mistress someone's second choice and I would never destroy a marriage for my happiness because that's just evil and like I say I only have one feeling left and it's love and God is with me and that's all I have to say have a great day carry on move forward God bless
@@kellywade8275 well, not one place in the world is perfect. But you may be surprised to know that the suicide rate in Japan is not the highest. It's just more well known because of the highlight of the Suicide Forest in Japan. India and Russia actually has higher counts than Japan. Recently, South Korea's number shoots way up. We can say Japan's number is now in the middle.
Agree. It can also mean that there is a lesson to be learned or therecis a break in love - and both is extremely painful. Although, there mihgt be a chance to restore love.... atbleastca chance. The pain remains....
That can hardly be a problem of the proverbs, nor even of the foolish, but a problem for someone that doesn't use them to distinguish a foolish one from a wise one, and subsequently deals with both people in an equal manner.
The wife wins but most times doesn’t want him I didn’t after my ex husband cheated he said he was never going to leave me hit her but I didn’t care after 20 years I don’t believe it is love if you cheat and for me after it was not the same so I moved on it was a long time before It was ok aNd felt good about my self again and really it was not me that was a problem I learned I was not guilty of being the one with something wrong about me it was him who had problems it took years to realize there was nothing wrong with me or I was not to blame
Husband and wife have the freedom to choose if they want a lover or a mistress. Having that free choice doesn't mean it's honorable like this quote makes it out to be.
The grass is not always greener. My ex left my son and myself for another woman. Even though he had 3 daughters with the one he left us for. He came back looking for us
Maybe, maybe not. The father of my kids left for about three days to be with his 'mistress', a prostitute, then changed his mind. I could not take him back but I think I can safely say I'm better. I have a small farm, work full-time as an artist, and she is a crackhead who abandoned her child in another state so she could strip and sell herself. Often people leave each other for people with lower standards, and that goes for both men and women, but the novelty of having no challenge wears of quickly it seems. Don't jump to be so defensive of someone, just because you relate to them on the level of your anatomy.
If you marry for love and have children and cheating causes a end to the marriage the damage to your children is the cheater’s fault man or woman. Don’t marry if you want to be with other men or women spare your children the painful loss of their family. Put them first they deserve it. If you need marriage counseling seek it wise counsel is beneficial to your life.
@@samkc3423 As someone who knows people who have dumped their wives to marry their mistresses, it means this: A marriage should be joyful, it should not feel like a trap. The guy is gonna be selfish and decide who he feels happiest with.

Khalida’s wise quote Between a wife and a lady is always Allah the eternal love,attachment,connection and expectations and blessings and miracles Many thanks ❤️👍❤️👍 Love from a beautiful timeless bellissima lady full of class and elegance and grace ❤️❤️
継続は力なり。 (keizoku wa chikara nari) English Translation: “Continuing on is power,” or “don’t give up.” Even when things get hard, pushing through leads to power and strength. That’s why this Japanese proverb means, “There’s strength in continuing on. Don’t give up.” 七転び八起き (nana korobi ya oki) English Translation: “Fall seven times, get up eight.” This is definitely one of the most famous Japanese proverbs. You’ve probably heard the English version: “If at first you don’t succeed, try and try again.” It’s another phrase that means “don’t give up!” 猿も木から落ちる (saru mo ki kara ochiru) English Translation: “Even monkeys fall from trees.” If monkeys can fall from trees, even the great can fail. This phrase means, “nobody’s perfect, but keep trying anyway.” It’s perfect to tell a friend if they’re struggling with failure to encourage them to keep trying. *明日は明日の風が吹く (ashita wa ashita no kaze ga fuku*) English translations: “Tomorrow’s winds will blow tomorrow.” This Japanese saying means, “tomorrow’s another day” and to not worry about the future. I love this beautiful proverb - it’s so much more elegant than the English version! 三日坊主 (mikka bouzu) English Translation: “A monk for 3 days.” This expression describes someone who’s an inconsistent worker or lacks the determination to see something through. They’re like the person who chooses to be a monk and gives up after only 3 days. 石の上にも三年 (ishi no ue nimo san’nen) English Translation: “3 years on a stone.” If you stay consistent and stick with it through hard times, eventually things will change. That’s the meaning behind this Japanese proverb. Think of the stone as your strength and perseverance foundation. If you continue to sit there and stick with it, things will slowly get better. 雨降って地固まる (ame futte chikatamaru) English Translation: “When it rains, earth hardens” or “Adversity builds character” This one especially sounds like a proverb you’d find in Avatar: The Last Airbender. In English, we have a couple of similar proverbs: “what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger” and “the calm after the storm.” This has a similar vibe. When you weather the storm, you become stronger for it. The earth hardens after a rain, and so you will grow stronger through a difficult situation. Japanese Proverbs About War and Anger 四面楚歌 (shimensoka) English Translation: “Surrounded by enemies.” A yojijukugo phase, which can also have a nuance of “being betrayed by everyone around you.” Talk about being in enemy territory! あほに取り合うばか (aho ni toriau naka) English Translation: “Only a fool deals with a fool.” Have you heard the English saying, “Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me”? Well, this Japanese saying has a bit of nuance like that. The word aho in Japanese is stronger than the word for baka, but they both mean “idiot.” So it’s saying you’re a greater fool for trying to fight with a fool. 相手のない喧嘩はできない (aite no nai kenka wa dekinai) English Translation: “You can’t fight without an opponent.” This proverb means basically the same thing as “it takes two to tango.” There can’t be a fight without both parties, so neither party is innocent. 悪戦苦闘 (akusenkutou) English Translation: “An uphill battle.” This idiom can also mean “a hard fight” or “struggle” - anything where the odds are against you, and it’ll be difficult to overcome! 猪突猛進 (chototsumoushin) English Translation: “Charge headlong.” It’s funny because this saying is calling someone a “wild boar”. But that’s how boars act, isn’t it? They’re stubborn and charge head-first. You may hear this one, too: 猪突猛進ガール (chototsumoushin ga-ru), or “headstrong girl.” 因果応報 (inga ouhou) English Translation: “Bad causes, bad result”, “karma” or “what goes around comes around” The meaning of this Japanese proverb is literally “cause and effect retribution.” So, when you do something bad, bad things will happen. You know what they say about karma. 負けるが勝ち (makeru ga kachi) English Translation: “To lose is to win.” Ever feel like it’s a lose-lose situation? Well, that’s where this proverb comes in. The wisdom it shares says that it’s sometimes better to lose and avoid worse conflict than to continue foolishly fighting. 弱肉強食 (jakuniku kyoushoku) English Translation: “The weak are meat” or “survival of the fittest” Hardcore! This one means the same as the English saying “survival of the fittest”, but it sounds way more diabolical. Speaking of diabolical… 極悪非道 (gokuaku hidou) English Translation: “Villany” or “diabolical” If you break down the kanji, it literally means “very evil and outrageous.” And so, you get… Diabolical! I can hear the evil laugh now. Mwahaha… 一刀両断 (ittouryoudan) English Translation: “One stroke, two halves.” A more natural translation would be “cut in two with one stroke”. As an idiom, it’s used to describe someone who takes decisive action. Japanese Proverbs About Death 馬鹿は死ななきゃ治らない (baka wa shinanakya naoranai) English Translation: “An idiot can’t be cured of idiocy unless they die.” Talk about harsh! This saying more or less means “you can’t fix stupid” but… more intense. 自ら墓穴を掘る (mizukara boketsu wo horu) English Translation: “Dig your own grave.” There aren’t many idioms that both Japanese and English have that translate perfectly together. But I’m sure you know this one well. Like the English saying, “to put your foot in your mouth,” or to say something stupid that gets you in trouble. “Dig your own grave” is the same way and Japanese has an exact equivalent. 安心して死ねる (anshin shite shineru) English Translation: “Die in peace.” This could be used to talk about someone who passed away at ease. Or it could describe a release of worry, like the English phrase. When a lifelong wish comes true or a big worry is solved and puts you at ease, you say “Well, now I can die in peace.” 死人に口なし (shinin ni kuchinashi) English Translation: “Dead men tell no tales.” Someone who’s been killed can’t reveal big secrets, so that’s where this phrase comes in. Sounds like something the yakuza (Japanese mafia) might say, huh? 危機一髪 (kiki ippatsu) English Translation: “A close call” or “in the nick of time” Almost got in an accident? Phew! “危機一髪!” That was a close call. This has the nuance of “a close call with death” or “a close shave” but it’s also used like “just in the nick of time,” too. 疑心暗鬼 (gishin’angi) English Translation: “Suspicion will raise bogies.” Feel like someone’s watching you? Are you “jumping at shadows”? That’s where this Japanese saying comes in. If you’re looking for demons in the dark, you’ll find them. 九死一生 (kyuushin iishou) English Translation: “Nine deaths, one life” or “near-death experience” Like “a close call” above, this one is where you see your life flash before your eyes.
@@ilovelife6214 Your precious/great comment means a lot to me ...... really thanks being grateful hope that it can help to improve many people minds....👍🏻
"Before you embark on a journey of revenge, dig two graves." Ah I understand. One for the man you're going to kill and someone to keep him company. Preferably a family member.
In our home country, we say “Starting is halfway to finishing”. And the Japanese say “When it’s 95, you’re halfway”. I love proverbs, they’re the best way to navigate the nuances in different cultures.
Not everyone is lucky to get marrued to the person they love and so are the people who don’t fall in love with their respective partner no matter how hard they try to, it’s not their fault love happens you don’t do it Also mistress doesn’t always mean the woman you sleep with for pleasure it also means the one you love and is not your wife
This is sad to say but I have witness it there are some people that don't know what or how love works they do not know the meaning of love so Falling in Love can they just the kid game or it could be forever
@@KikiGreen Grace, intelligence and beauty may not all at once be gifted, but each employed effectively is sufficent to achieve the status of wife. Once elevated improve those areas of deficiency.

Spring night refers to intimacy between a couple, if I’m not mistaken.
継続は力なり。 (keizoku wa chikara nari) English Translation: “Continuing on is power,” or “don’t give up.”
Even when things get hard, pushing through leads to power and strength. That’s why this Japanese proverb means, “There’s strength in continuing on. Don’t give up.”
七転び八起き (nana korobi ya oki) English Translation: “Fall seven times, get up eight.”
This is definitely one of the most famous Japanese proverbs. You’ve probably heard the English version: “If at first you don’t succeed, try and try again.” It’s another phrase that means “don’t give up!”
猿も木から落ちる (saru mo ki kara ochiru) English Translation: “Even monkeys fall from trees.”
If monkeys can fall from trees, even the great can fail. This phrase means, “nobody’s perfect, but keep trying anyway.”
It’s perfect to tell a friend if they’re struggling with failure to encourage them to keep trying.
*明日は明日の風が吹く (ashita wa ashita no kaze ga fuku*) English translations: “Tomorrow’s winds will blow tomorrow.”
This Japanese saying means, “tomorrow’s another day” and to not worry about the future. I love this beautiful proverb - it’s so much more elegant than the English version!
三日坊主 (mikka bouzu) English Translation: “A monk for 3 days.”
This expression describes someone who’s an inconsistent worker or lacks the determination to see something through. They’re like the person who chooses to be a monk and gives up after only 3 days.
石の上にも三年 (ishi no ue nimo san’nen) English Translation: “3 years on a stone.”
If you stay consistent and stick with it through hard times, eventually things will change. That’s the meaning behind this Japanese proverb.
Think of the stone as your strength and perseverance foundation. If you continue to sit there and stick with it, things will slowly get better.
雨降って地固まる (ame futte chikatamaru) English Translation: “When it rains, earth hardens” or “Adversity builds character”
This one especially sounds like a proverb you’d find in Avatar: The Last Airbender. In English, we have a couple of similar proverbs: “what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger” and “the calm after the storm.”
This has a similar vibe. When you weather the storm, you become stronger for it. The earth hardens after a rain, and so you will grow stronger through a difficult situation.
Japanese Proverbs About War and Anger
四面楚歌 (shimensoka) English Translation: “Surrounded by enemies.”
A yojijukugo phase, which can also have a nuance of “being betrayed by everyone around you.” Talk about being in enemy territory!
あほに取り合うばか (aho ni toriau naka) English Translation: “Only a fool deals with a fool.”
Have you heard the English saying, “Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me”? Well, this Japanese saying has a bit of nuance like that.
The word aho in Japanese is stronger than the word for baka, but they both mean “idiot.” So it’s saying you’re a greater fool for trying to fight with a fool.
相手のない喧嘩はできない (aite no nai kenka wa dekinai) English Translation: “You can’t fight without an opponent.”
This proverb means basically the same thing as “it takes two to tango.” There can’t be a fight without both parties, so neither party is innocent.
悪戦苦闘 (akusenkutou) English Translation: “An uphill battle.”
This idiom can also mean “a hard fight” or “struggle” - anything where the odds are against you, and it’ll be difficult to overcome!
猪突猛進 (chototsumoushin) English Translation: “Charge headlong.”
It’s funny because this saying is calling someone a “wild boar”. But that’s how boars act, isn’t it? They’re stubborn and charge head-first.
You may hear this one, too: 猪突猛進ガール (chototsumoushin ga-ru), or “headstrong girl.”
因果応報 (inga ouhou) English Translation: “Bad causes, bad result”, “karma” or “what goes around comes around”
The meaning of this Japanese proverb is literally “cause and effect retribution.” So, when you do something bad, bad things will happen. You know what they say about karma.
負けるが勝ち (makeru ga kachi) English Translation: “To lose is to win.”
Ever feel like it’s a lose-lose situation? Well, that’s where this proverb comes in. The wisdom it shares says that it’s sometimes better to lose and avoid worse conflict than to continue foolishly fighting.
弱肉強食 (jakuniku kyoushoku) English Translation: “The weak are meat” or “survival of the fittest”
Hardcore! This one means the same as the English saying “survival of the fittest”, but it sounds way more diabolical.
Speaking of diabolical…
極悪非道 (gokuaku hidou) English Translation: “Villany” or “diabolical”
If you break down the kanji, it literally means “very evil and outrageous.” And so, you get… Diabolical! I can hear the evil laugh now. Mwahaha…
一刀両断 (ittouryoudan) English Translation: “One stroke, two halves.”
A more natural translation would be “cut in two with one stroke”. As an idiom, it’s used to describe someone who takes decisive action.
Japanese Proverbs About Death
馬鹿は死ななきゃ治らない (baka wa shinanakya naoranai) English Translation: “An idiot can’t be cured of idiocy unless they die.”
Talk about harsh! This saying more or less means “you can’t fix stupid” but… more intense.
自ら墓穴を掘る (mizukara boketsu wo horu) English Translation: “Dig your own grave.”
There aren’t many idioms that both Japanese and English have that translate perfectly together. But I’m sure you know this one well. Like the English saying, “to put your foot in your mouth,” or to say something stupid that gets you in trouble. “Dig your own grave” is the same way and Japanese has an exact equivalent.
安心して死ねる (anshin shite shineru) English Translation: “Die in peace.”
This could be used to talk about someone who passed away at ease. Or it could describe a release of worry, like the English phrase. When a lifelong wish comes true or a big worry is solved and puts you at ease, you say “Well, now I can die in peace.”
死人に口なし (shinin ni kuchinashi) English Translation: “Dead men tell no tales.”
Someone who’s been killed can’t reveal big secrets, so that’s where this phrase comes in. Sounds like something the yakuza (Japanese mafia) might say, huh?
危機一髪 (kiki ippatsu) English Translation: “A close call” or “in the nick of time”
Almost got in an accident? Phew! “危機一髪!” That was a close call.
This has the nuance of “a close call with death” or “a close shave” but it’s also used like “just in the nick of time,” too.
疑心暗鬼 (gishin’angi) English Translation: “Suspicion will raise bogies.”
Feel like someone’s watching you? Are you “jumping at shadows”? That’s where this Japanese saying comes in. If you’re looking for demons in the dark, you’ll find them.
九死一生 (kyuushin iishou) English Translation: “Nine deaths, one life” or “near-death experience”
Like “a close call” above, this one is where you see your life flash before your eyes.

We must never forget the explorers spirit.
"Before you embark on a journey of revenge, dig two graves."
Ah I understand. One for the man you're going to kill and someone to keep him company. Preferably a family member.
No one for the man you will kill and one for yourself as u will be killed too
EXACTLY!
Read Proverbs and you'll see thousands
Freedom is the absolute thing. Be with the one who is comfortable with your freedom. No body really need many.
Good one lol
Where do you get the videos you use for your videos?
There are some of these that are identical in Italian and that I never heard anywhere else 😂
In our home country, we say “Starting is halfway to finishing”.
And the Japanese say “When it’s 95, you’re halfway”.
I love proverbs, they’re the best way to navigate the nuances in different cultures.
Begin…the rest is easy.

People like me needed to hear it twice, as it’s the most important proverb in this list
@@mfanimpelamaseko2946 yeah I get that … I’ve always looked at it more as “nothing is free”
A few of these were actually funny:) A lot of truth in these quotes.

What is the reason for seeing for the first quote on the first image
Nice
The way I remember it. He always chooses the mistress. Yup. Thats right I got cheated on. Weve all been cheated on.
Not everyone is lucky to get marrued to the person they love and so are the people who don’t fall in love with their respective partner no matter how hard they try to, it’s not their fault love happens you don’t do it
Also mistress doesn’t always mean the woman you sleep with for pleasure it also means the one you love and is not your wife
Couldn’t have said it any better! People are married to wrong partners and it’s very sad
This is sad to say but I have witness it there are some people that don't know what or how love works they do not know the meaning of love so Falling in Love can they just the kid game or it could be forever
A frog in a well dsnt know the vast ocean....I grew up feeling this idiom a lot in my life.

She who is desirous of being a wife knows the subtle arts and wiles of a mistress, and being a wife abandons them to her detriment.
Who's quote is that?
