Hello everyone,

Anyone want to share their favourite Japanese quote? Or also sayings? It could be from books, from a famous person, hell even from manga. Doesn’t have to be always intellectual xD

I’m far from starting my Japanese reading adventure, although just thought it would be harmless to start this and know what everybody likes.

馬鹿には勝てない - You can’t win against idiots! 😂 Harsh but also true.

(variation 馬鹿と子供には勝てぬ)

I’m pretty sure I’ve heard this phrase in anime and it just stuck. 🤣 There is no equivalent in my own language.
