Here are some aphorisms and adages that strike me:
"A fool and his money are soon parted." This is both painfully true and potentially hilarious.
Maybe this guy spent too much on shoes. I don't know.
"A friend in need is a friend indeed." I never understood this saying. Why should a person be in need for me to be friends with them? Did I take something from them? This is something I want to think more about.
"Hey friend, need a hug?"
"All we learn from history is that we learn nothing from history." Also painfully true.
He probably knows something about history. Or nothing. Which is something.
"Beauty is only skin deep." This is extremely important because with the recent body acceptance movement, people are actually forgetting this saying. It's great to feel beautiful and love your body, but beauty is a temporal thing and shouldn't be such a big deal to us.
Beneath it all we're just a bunch of skeletons.
This is what a soul should look like.
A similar, more Biblical quote: "I also want the women to dress modestly, with decency and propriety, adorning themselves, not with elaborate hairstyles or gold or pearls or expensive clothes, but with good deeds, appropriate for women who profess to worship God." 1 Timothy 2:9-10.
