Chinese proverb

You cannot prevent the birds of sorrow from flying over your head, but you can prevent them from building nests in your hair.

(Those Chinese get it, too.)

Chinese proverb

There are three truths: my truth, your truth, and the truth.

(An expert in alethiology might question this statement.  I would agree that whenever two people are involved, there is a "my truth" and a "your truth," and rarely are they exactly the same.  I'm not sure that there really is a "the truth" -- but if there is, it is probably different from either "my truth" or "your truth.")
