Proverbs of Yliakum

[Xillix Queen of Fools]

[since i know everyone is probably itching for some ps . . .]

Xillix posts a sign outside kada el's

"Dear Yliakum, I am collecting proverbs from the good and bad people of our fair lands if you can read, write your proverb here. If this note is being read to you dictate your proverb and have it written here. I hope to see some of the wisdom that is thrown to the winds collected.

I will start:

-As falka holds a fire longer than a glyph, so to does a fool hold wisdom longer than a sage.-

-never pee uphill, you'll get your boots wet-

Yours--

XilliX QOF"

[These proverbs should all be Yliakumized worldly wisdom or completely IC quips or puns]

Some words, many ways to interpretate them, by Annera Klorn

"Old enemies are like ulbernauts: their diplomatic seal is your dead corpse"

"Better to have a terrible truth coming to you like the darkness of the Stone Labyrinths than to live in deceptions"

"If you decide to become free to believe in nothing, everything else is granted"

"Discover the truth and it shall bring you liberty"

"If you stand still thinking, you will philosophically conclude your purse just was stolen"

I hope my contribution is worthy enough

*Narure drags a young smart dressed enki to the sign and gives him a prod with his dagger and begins to dictate*

"you should treat your fellow citizens generously, or destroy them, for small injuries they will seek revenge, for fatal ones they cannot"

"Bring umbrellas on sunny days also, as pterosaurs answer natures call independent of the weather"

"to defeat a mage, steal his glyphs"

*Narure puts his dagger away and gives the well dressed enki a kick in the backside as he scuttles off*
