Please submit here aphorisms only of your own making.

Here is mine:

Being louder doesn't make you right.

Just because you don't understand it doesn't mean it's easy.

Don't try to be everything to everyone.

I make one in Chinese: 低调让你如此美丽
But I'm not sure my translation to English is exactly what I want to express: Self-effacement makes you perfect.
:roll:

To be or not to be. It's a question.

I'd love if you call me brother. I'd love if you don't call me brother.
If you were to die tomorrow, who'd you want to die today?
Those who say I do not have an aim, has not seen me peeing.

If you are not laughing at yourself, then you just didn't get the joke.

Not the most buoyant duck on the pond.
