The road curves through rural fields, near Ljubljana

A thread on Reddit’s Ask Women section has women sharing the great advice or quotes that have stayed with them.

Sometimes we hear a great piece of advice or a quote that really speaks to us and we never forget it. A Reddit thread in the Ask Women section has them sharing theirs by asking, “What’s a mantra or phrase you once heard or read and stick by till this day?”

These are the words of wisdom that the women of Reddit live by:

“Don’t react; respond.”
“No matter how much you know, what you say is as much as the other person understands.”
“Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity.”
“Anxiety isn’t intuition.”
“Most people do not listen with the intent to understand; they listen with the intent to reply. They’re either speaking or preparing to speak. They’re filtering everything through their own paradigms, reading their autobiography into other people’s lives.”
“Nothing in nature blooms all year round; why should you?”
“People can only meet you as far as they’ve met themselves.”
“When you know what you value, hard decisions are easy to make.”
“You can’t pour from an empty cup.”
