A certain YouTuber (self-defense expert, and has analyzed tens of thousands of videos of violent incidents) I watch has a couple of phrases he uses regularly that I like:
”You put the quarter in the jukebox, you get to dance the dance.”
”Don’t go stupid places, at stupid times, with stupid people, and do stupid things.”
With regards to the last one, he often mentions that you might get away with violating one, but if you often break more than that, it will eventually catch up with you.
