@kickeroo2001: Edit: ALSO, just a quick "by the way", this has NOTHING to do with gender and I mostly just used the audio. Sorry if there's been any confusion. Edit 2: Not all of the long form quotes are the original quote, some of them were made later, sorry for the confusion. Meaning of these quotes: "Great Minds Think Alike but Fools Seldom Differ" = "fools" share unoriginal thoughts and shed new light on a subject that doesn't conform with the popular opinion. "Jack of All Trades, Master of None, but Oftentimes Better than a Master of One." = the adaptability of experience in many subject matters could prove to be more useful than a person only trained in on subject matter. "The Blood of the Covenant is Thicker than the Water of The Womb" = is the opposite of "blood is thicker than water", implying that the friends that were chosen as family have a stronger connection than biological family ties. "Curiosity Killed the Cat but Satisfaction Brought it Back" = is also an opposite of its abbreviated version, implying that a person should be set out into unknown territory in order to question it and satisfy their questions with answers. "The Customer is Always Right in Matters of Taste" = when it comes to the flavour of something, and literally nothing else, the customer is right. "The Early Bird gets the Worm but the Second Mouse gets the Cheese" = provides that patience supercedes rushing blindly into danger, while heading first has advantages, being second means learning from the mistakes of the first and improving with caution.

if you pay attention, the shorter one typically changes, if not reverses, the original meaning. also, here's one to add to the collection: "birds of a feather flock together UNTIL THE CAT COMES"

They always talk about "Icarus flew too close to the sun", but never " He laughed as he fell, for to fall meant to once have soared"

The blood water one comes from tumblr btw

Christian :

jack of all trades, master of none. A light for others, yet seen by none. you mend, you give, you stand so tall, But who will catch you if you fall?

Crow :

None of these are real, almost all of these started as the short version and got extended afterwards, especially the blood is thicker than water one, that was literally just from a tumblr post where someone made it up

✨PXLBZD🏳️‍⚧️4ZTR0PH1LIA✨ :

There's a full video essay on how none of these are the actual full saying, and not a single one predates the original saying. I recommend it, it's called "Satisfaction Brought It Back" by Indigo F

Mari :

kazper :

Greg H :

many 'original' versions of the quotes are from later additions, such as with 'blood is thicker than water' being the original dating back to c1300 as opposed to c1950 (if i remember correctly)

Sherlock :

Some of these were actually the shorter version and the longer version was added later.

the original of the phrase blood thicker than water relates to family over religion, the blood of kin over the water of baptism, pre-christian europe
