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.
