You can lead a man to reason, but you can't make him think.
You can bring a horse to a river but you can't make it drink.
Maybe the horse smelled shit in the water.
Right, in which case I should bring a so-called poet to the river.
Are you talking about me? Because I am not a poet. I do not know what poetry is, as I said in the answer I gave you (Remember? The answer which you mocked and dismissed). Unlike you, I at least try to keep my ego in check — I am not the one who considers himself a river of knowledge.
Here is my handy advice for you, Senna: just because you're arrogant and impolite, it doesn't mean that others are, too. Don't go assuming others are being "cute".
Whatever knowledge you have isn't worth my time in having to navigate your labyrinth of hostility.
Butters has started a nice and innocent thread: handy advice in sound-bite size. Then UnderYourSpell, among others, offered a piece of wisdom: You can lead a man to reason, but you can't make him think. To this I responded with a similar one, poetic, this time supposedly by ancient Chinese (possibly other ancient nations had something like this too): You can bring a horse to a river but you can't make it drink. EVERYTHING so far so nice!

As you like. I am giving you another chance to continue The Tsotha improvement project. Take it or leave it. And leave my poor person alone.
Never save for tomorrow what you can drink today.
That's pure paranoia.It will be quite clear to anyone who cares to follow the conversation that your "peaceful" proverb was put here as an indirect stab in response to my questioning [...]

ha! now that is cuteI'd rather be a hammer than a snail

actually, you have beforeI don't tell people how they are, how they should be
a clear reference, SJ - choosing to be offended over something offered kindly, if perhaps naively, is not the same thing as the message being deliberately offensivewhat they should think about themselves, I don't give people unasked for and extremely offending advices.
applied to the statementYeah, cute, I am sure. Have it your way.
applied to the statementYou can choose to read my message in whatever tone you wish; that is beyond my control. Nonetheless, thank you for the input.
this is obfuscation - Tsotha did not say, nor imply, you were calling him cute.You have confused the two of us. And don't twist what I said. I didn't call you (ironically) cute. I said that this statement (not you) was cute:
he didn'tIt was this your statement called cute, not you. You can claim that I was wrong about calling this statement cute, that's fine--but don't twist what I said.
A little knowledge can always be supplemented.
Too much is a load.
wow. this is eerie.-
measure three times, cut once.
Measure stands for thinking. This advice works in poetry well only if you think fast. For those who do, it takes them practice (in most of the cases). One has to know what to think about. One can't just think--it'd be mostly worthless.
