My grandpa used to tell me:

"Stupid hurts for a reason boy"

True, and I remember it every time I learn a lesson the hard way, which seems to be often.

I am sure this phrase has been around since before the forum existed. I found it here, but, have adhered to it since I was a teenager:

"Buy once, cry once."

I have always been under the impression that you get what you pay for, to an extent. Most of the times, it is true.

Do not necessarily attribute someone's nasty or inappropriate actions as intended when it may be explained by ignorance or stupidity.
