My curiosity be stirring again...
Have you ever come across a quote that, at the time you read/heard it, it made absolutely NO sense to you, but later discovered its meaning?

My mom was notorious for her many quotes, (her own, cliche & philospohical), and in my youth, some made sense...yet many I was clueless to...(until living the experience made it all click...lol).

These are some examples of the ones she used to say, which took me a while to grasp...

"Sometimes, the shortest way home is the longest way around".

"We often teach best what we need to learn most".
I have to admit, this one took a VERY long time to sink in with me..(I be slowzz...lol).

"The best way to learn of one's distrust is by trusting them".
I perfectly understand this one, but because of who I am, I continue to discover this one a few times more than I care to admit.

.....Just thot it'd be entertaining, if any of you care to share any quotes that took a while to understand....(or am I really that slow....LOL).
