Go Proverbs
PageType: Path
Keywords: Proverb
Go proverbs summarize wisdom in easy-to-remember phrases. The proverbs apply surprisingly often and are regularly used in game comments.
But be warned: Although proverbs often can help, one must always evaluate whether or not they apply in a particular situation. Often there's more than one proverb which applies. Sometimes they are even contradictory. Therefore, one proverb says Don't follow proverbs blindly. Common sense must still be used.
