CULTURAL MOMENT 🍅
There's a reason this proverb has survived generations across dozens of countries, while plenty of other old sayings quietly disappeared. It captures something true about human nature in six words: most of the trouble people get into comes from something they said, not something they did.
Spanish-speaking cultures pass this down early, you'll hear it directed at children before they're old enough to understand irony, and you'll still hear it directed at grown adults at family dinners, work parties, and everywhere in between.
