You came back so happy. You guys are here. Join the Proverbs. Me too. Let's knock out. Number four, keep this dream alive. As my friend, Scott Hammertime would say advice and ignorance, giving advice, there is no price for good advice, which is why one word to the wise is enough. And he, that speaks so close. Whereas he, that hears reaps leading by example is better than giving advice. So it's often best to say little about what you know, and nothing about what you don't for. No matter how much care is taken, someone will be misled for many. The truth hurts as good medicine is bitter to the tongue. Good advice is harsh to the ear, which is why. If you advise a bear, you deserve your fate. And many people use a stick for a nobody and a hint for a nobleman. A fool may say do, as I say, not as I do, but even a fool can give ideas to a wise man. And remember, never give advice in a crowd heating advice. He asks advice in vain who does not heat it. So ask for what you want. Don't offer me advice. Give me money for warned is for armed. They say so learn from new books and old teachers. And if you can't read, then experience will show you while a master points the way remember it's shameful, never to ask, and it's better to ask twice. Then lose your way. Once as he who seeks advice, seldom ERs, many, a young Prince is told that listening to good advice is the way to wealth for a King with good counselors has a peaceful rain often because deep calls to deep. One piece of good advice is better than a bagful. And crafty advice often comes from a fool. Bear in mind that another person's counsel is no command and that you must examine the advice not who gives it. Remember if you ask a lazy person to work, he will only give you advice. But if you're lucky, you'll find the best advice is on your pillow. And the best word is left unsaid for all that is known, is not told ignoring advice. Only a bad child will not take advice for those nuns. So death, as those who won't hear, there's none so blind as those who won't see yet, no enemy is worse than bad advice because if the blind lead, the blind both will fall into the ditch, particularly as advice most needed is least heated. Of course, the person on shore is always the champion swimmer and many will show you the way after the Cartwheel breaks. Remember there is no right way to a wrong thing and advice after mischief is like medicine after death. So bear in mind that wise men don't need advice and fools won't take it. So why not go to the square and ask advice, then go home and do what you like. I got an idea. Substance and appearance, substance things are what they are. It is what it is. For instance, however long, a log lies in the water. It never becomes a crocodile. And you don't gather grapes from thorns or figs from thistles nature, abhors a vacuum. Thus, the pebble comes from the mountain and each Bay has its own wind in nature. There's no such thing as a lawn. Even if you try to drive out in nature with a Pitchfork, she'll keep coming back. Indeed nature follows its course and a cat, the mouse. So cats don't catch mice to please God human nature is the same. The world over just as the name given to a child becomes natural to it. Perhaps because of this, sometimes a person is nothing and some aren't even that. So never forget. There's a prawn under every rock and to him who watches, everything reveals itself, appearance. It is widely held that as is the garden. So is the gardener just as there is no smoke without fire, indeed, what you see is what you get. So maybe clothes make the man. In most cases, joining tail to trunk reveals the elephant in the same way that the background needs the foreground and every Hill has its Valley. So appear always what you are and a little less for an a flat country. A hillock is a mountain and don't judge a man until have walked a mile in his shoes. As it takes all sorts to make the world. And all shoes are not made in the same batch. Indeed different ponds have different fish. Remember appearances are deceitful and looks are nothing. Behavior is all. And since the eyes are the window of the soul, what the eye doesn't see the heart doesn't grieve. Disguises never judge a book by its cover for a cowl does not make a monk and pretty close and find faces. Don't make good people. Indeed. A fair skin often covers a crooked mind, perhaps closed do not make the man after all as black soles wear white shirts while they clever Hawk hides its claws and all too often under the SHEEX turbine, there is a monkey water can deceive the diver as well. So don't be a fool. Don't think there are no crocodiles. If the water is still and remember a sweet potato, doesn't advertise that he's tasty just as the tree with most leaves, doesn't always have juicy fruit. It goes without saying that not all white liquids are milk just as not all black objects are coal and a sandal is not a shoe. So look deeper and see that the gray mirror may be the better horse. Despite the fact that he bad horse will eat as much as a good one and watch out there are often glowing embers under cold ashes. Remember eat what you like, but dress as others do goodness whispers but evil. Speaker 2 (7m 54s): I love you. I love you. <inaudible> Speaker 1 (8m 0s): Past present and future past. We all know how time flies, how it is here today and gone tomorrow. How no hand can catch time? Indeed. Time is precious. Time is money. So all too often, we want time badly. Then use it badly. For example, don't let yesterday take up too much of today and don't cry over spilled milk for there are no birds. And last year's nests in general. Hindsight is clearer than foresight. So remember four things do not return spoken words, flighted arrows past life and lost opportunities. Indeed. Even a God can't change the past for a lost sheep can be recovered, but not lost time. Despite this, no matter how hard the past, you can always begin again. And when you do watch out history repeats itself, which is why so often things present are judged by things past. And today is the scholar of yesterday. Present the early bird catches the worm for so often in life. It's first come first served. And if you get to the river early, you drink the cleanest water. Otherwise you can tell yourself better, late than never for everything has its proper time. Even maneuvering cabbages. Indeed. There's a time for adversity, a time for prosperity. And there's a first time for everything. Even the longest journey starts with a single step aim to experience each moment to its fullest for there's no time like now. And despite the fact that time and tide wait for no man, and the ti...

Darkness struck, a gut-punched theft, Sun ripped away, her health bereft. I roar at the void. This ain't just fate, a cosmic scam I spit my hate. The games rigged tight, shadows deal, blood on their hands, I'll never kneel. Yet in the rage, a crack ignites, occulted sparks cut through the nights. The scars my key, hermetic and stark. To see, to rise, I hunt in the dark, fumbling, fear, Heiress through ruins maze, lights my war cry, born from the blaze.

The poem is Angels with Rifles. The track, I Am Sorrow, I Am Lust by Codex Seraphene. Check out the entire song at the end of the cast. And just like a boomerang, you came back. So happy you guys are here. Join the Proverbs. Me too. Let's knockout number four.

Keep this dream alive as my friend Scott Hammertime. Scott Hammer time would say. Advice and ignorance. Giving advice. There's no price for good advice, which is why one word to the wise is enough. And he that speaks, soes, whereas he that hears reaps. Leading by example is better than giving advice.

So it's often best to say little about what you know and nothing about what you don't. For, no matter how much care is taken, someone will be misled. For many the truth hurts, as good medicine is bitter to the tongue. Good advice is harsh to the ear, which is why, if you advise a bear, you deserve your fate. And many people use a stick for a nobody and a hint for a nobleman. A fool may say, do as I say, not as I do. But even a fool can give ideas to a wise man. And remember, never give advice in a crowd.

Heeding advice. He asks advice in vain who does not heat it. So ask for what do you want? Don't offer me advice. Give me money. Forewarned is forarmed, they say. So, learn from new books and old teachers, and if you can't read, then experience will show you while a master points the way.

Remember, it's shameful never to ask, and it's better to ask twice than lose your way once, as he who seeks advice seldom urs. Many a young prince is told that listening to good advice is the way to wealth, for a king with good counselors has a peaceful reign, often because Deep calls to Deep. One piece of good advice is better than a bagful, and crafty advice often comes from a fool. Bear in mind that another person's counsel is no command, and that you must examine the advice, not who gives it. Remember, if you ask a lazy person to work, he will only give you. you advice. But if you're lucky, you'll find the best advice is on your pillow. And the best word is left

unsaid. For all that is known is not told. Ignoring advice. Only a bad child will not take advice. For there's none so deaf as those who won't hear. There's none so blind as those who won't see. yet no enemy is worse than bad advice because if the blind lead the blind both will fall into the ditch particularly as advice most needed is least heated of course the person on shore

is always the champion swimmer and many will show you the way after the cartwheel breaks remember there is no right way to a wrong thing and advice after mischief is like medicine after death. So bear in mind that wise men don't need advice and fools won't take it. So why not go to the square and ask advice, then go home and do what you like. I got an idea.

Substance and appearance. Substance. Things are what they are. It is what it is, for instance. however long a log lies in the water, it never becomes a crocodile. And you don't gather grapes from thorns or figs from thistles. Nature abhors a vacuum. Thus the pebble comes from the mountain, and each bay has its own wind. In nature, there's no such thing as a lawn. Even if you try to drive out nature with a pitchfork, she'll keep coming back. Indeed, nature follows its course, and a cat, the mouse.

So cats don't catch mice to please God. Human nature is the same the world over, just as the name given to a child becomes natural to it. Perhaps because of this, sometimes a person is nothing, and some aren't even that. So never forget, there's a prawn under every rock, and to him who, who watches, everything reveals itself. Appearance. It is widely held that as is the garden, so is the gardener. Just as there is no smoke without fire.

Indeed, what you see is what you get. So maybe clothes make the man. In most cases, joining tail to trunk reveals the elephant. In the same way that the background needs the foreground. and every hill has its valley, so appear always what you are and a little less. For in a flat country, a hillock is a mountain. And don't judge a man until you have walked a mile in his shoes, as it takes all sorts to make the world.

And all shoes are not made in the same batch. Indeed, different ponds have different fish. Remember, appearances are deceitful. And looks are nothing, behavior is all. And since the eyes are the window of the soul, what the eye doesn't see, the heart doesn't grieve, disguises. Never judge a book by its cover.

For a cowl does not make a monk, and pretty clothes and fine faces don't make good people. Indeed, a fair skin often covers a crooked mind. perhaps clothes do not make the man after all as black souls wear white shirts while a clever hawk hides its claws and all too often under the sheikh's turban there is a monkey water can deceive the diver as well so don't be a fool don't think there are no crocodiles if the water is still and remember a sweet potato doesn't advertise that he's tasty. Just as the tree with most leaves doesn't always have juicy fruit. It goes without saying that not all white liquids are milk, just as not all black objects are coal, and a sandal is not a shoe. So look deeper and see that the gray mare may be the better horse, despite the fact that a bad horse

will eat as much as a good one. And watch out. There are often glowing embers under cold ashes. Remember, eat what you like, but dress as others do. Goodness whispers, but evil shouts. I love you. I love you. Past, present and future.

Past. We all know how time flies. How it is here today and gone tomorrow. How no hand can catch time. Indeed, time is precious. Time is money. Though all too often we want time badly, then use it badly. For example, don't let yesterday take up too much of today. And don't cry over spilled milk, for there are no birds in last year's nests. In general, hindsight is clearer than foresight. So remember, four things do not return. Spoken words.

flighted arrows, past life, and lost opportunities. Indeed, even a God can't change the past, for a lost sheep can be recovered, but not lost time. Despite this, no matter how hard the past, you can always begin again. And when you do, watch out. History repeats itself, which is why so often things present are judged by things past and today is the scholar of yesterday present the early bird catches the worm for so often in life it's first come first served and if you get to the river early you drink the cleanest water otherwise you can tell yourself better late than never for everything has its proper time, even manuring cabbages. Indeed, there's a time for adversity, a time for prosperity, and there's a first time for everything. Even the longest journey starts with a single step. Aim to experience each moment to its fullest, for there's no time like now, and despite the fact that

time and tide wait for no man, and the tide must be taken when it comes, Don't forget to give time, time, to suit yourself to the times. And remember that time brings roses. Indeed, those who are happy do not observe the passing of time. And one today is worth two, tomorrow's. Future. Worrying about the future ruins the present. So relax.

Tomorrow is another day, and tomorrow's winds will blow tomorrow. So let us think of tomorrow when tomorrow comes, though tomorrow never comes. Of course, there are few paths without perils. So be prepared for conflicts as they have already begun. And however good your intention, the food you give may come back as poo. In the end, time heals all. For everything has an end and things will work out, all in good time. Just remember, the past is the future of the present.

Indeed, we are only visitors to this time and place. With a sponge to wipe away the past, a rose to sweeten the present, and a kiss to greet the future. For flowers bloom, flowers fall. Thought and action. Thinking, everyone who succeeds must first dream. So remember, that your head is not just there for a hat. And that if you fail to plan, you plan to fail.

At the very least, don't go out of your depth before you can swim. Because if you know the road, you can ride full trot. And if you can't, then ask those coming back for the best way forward. A person in a hurry arrives late, whereas slow and steady wins the race. So first, catch your hair. because once you know how to know and to act are the same. That's why practice makes perfect, and repetition is the mother of memory, and also why a pleasant thought never comes too soon.

So be aware that a tree only moves if there's wind, and a watched pot never boils, which is why you don't call a dog with a whip in your hand, and a big goat does not sneeze without a reason. Deciding. Some say that the world is conquered with words, not swords, though this is easier said than done. For fine words don't put porridge in the pot.

Of course, thought is free, and anything that releases you from a dilemma is useful. But remember, that it's easier to think than to act, and you don't get anywhere by running in your mind. Nevertheless, the mind is powerful. Work doesn't kill, but worry does. If you think something impossible, it will be. Just as if the heart is unwilling, it will make a thousand excuses.

That's why, where there's a will, there's a way. And what isn't can't yet be done? for you already have all you need to become great. Above all, always try to do unto others as you would have them do unto you, and never say never. Of course, smooth hands love the labor of others, and the coward will always say, when in doubt, don't. For no choice is also a choice.

But even if the spirit is willing but the full, Flesh is weak. Generally, elbow grease is the best polish. Action. A rocky field demands a pickaxe, not a prayer. So never put off tomorrow what you can do today. For even if the eyes fear, the hands will do the work. Of course, least said, soonest mended, and actions speak louder than words, so it's mostly better to have less thunder in the mouth and more lightning in the hand. For when you grasp a nettle like a lad of metal, as soft as silk it will remain. In the same spirit, put your best foot forward. Aim to be the master of your will and the slave of your conscious.

And if your destiny doesn't fit, then fit yourself to your destiny. All actions have reactions. So practice what you preach, and remember that if brag is a good dog, hold fast is better. Above all, act honestly and speak boldly. Tread gently on the ground and leave it as found. And if you're in a hole, then stop digging. I don't know, man. I was banging seven gram rocks and finishing them because that's how I roll.

I have one speed. I have one gear. Go.
