1 It is better to fail in originality than to succed in imitation. he who has never failed somewhere, that man cannot be great. Means that it's better to come up with your own ideas, even if they're failures, instead of just copying someone else's ideas. 2 a penny saved is a penny earned. To save money is exactly the same as earning money. At the end of the day you have the money. 3 god help those who help themselves. Don't just sit around and wait for help. You have to take steps to get help yourself. 4 nothing is certain except death and taxes. There are no guarantees in life, except that everyone pays taxes and everyone dies. 5 works with obvious meaning, cease to be art. Part of creating art is to add your own interpretation of what the piece actually means. 6 to be great is to be misunderstood. Greatness implies that you are on a "different level" than most people. Therefore those people tend to misunderstand your greatness. (This one's hard to explain!)

Many of the most interesting answers come from people who have English as a second language, or ninth language in some cases! Quora’s language is English but its outlook is international.There are many questions that are best answered by non-native English speakers, including about how different countries are viewed, favorite poems in another language, or cultural differences.As for people getting mad at you, Quora has a Be Nice, Be Respectful policy that is generally enforced. It means that we may disagree, but we will not resort to insults or rudeness. Anyone who “gets mad” at you for posting something unworthy, because you mis-spelled something or didn’t use the correct verb form, would be breaking that rule and should be reported.If you find it helpful to have other people edit your answers to improve the readability, you can always add a coda at the end to say something likeI would be grateful for corrections to any spelling or grammar mistakes.Then thank anyone who edits your content for you.Trust me, there will be plenty of people who can help you if your answers are interesting and informative, but have a couple of mis-spellings or other errors. We can always, always use more writers who produce good content, long or short.Aim to answer the question, use simple words and sentence structures if that’s easiest and most comfortable, and don’t be afraid to reach out for help when you need it.Welcome to Quora, good luck and have fun!
Native English speakers, could you please help me with these issues?

Native English speakers, could you please help me with these issues?
a) "I feel gripped for this books." "Grip" in this context is a verb meaning "intensely interested". Therefore use "gripped by" not "gripped for" "This" is singular, "books" is plural. Use either "this book" or "these books" b) "This books really grips me." "This" is singular, "books" is plural. Use "This book really grips me." or "These books really grip me." c) "This book is gripping." It's technically OK though nobody really speaks like that, but I'll give you a pass because I feel merciful today.
Native English speakers, could you please help me with these issues?
1. In the movie "The good dcotor", I came across two pieces which I didn't clearly understand: a) In the first, the doctor said: "I need LAB 'stuff'." (I didn't understand the second word) Anyway, the phrase was translated as 'clinical analysis' (such as, blood tests, urine tests, etc.) So, based on this, could you identify the phrase? b) In another part of the movie, the doctor said: "Just take the pills to avois 'BREED-UPS'." However, I don't think that word exists (as I can't find it in the dictionary).. But as a clue, the phrase was translated as 'relapses'. In this context, are you able to identify the missing word?
Native English speakers please help me with this!?
It's about a song: All my memories gather round her, miner's lady, stranger to blue water. Dark and dusty, painted on the sky, misty taste of moonshine, teardrop in my eye. Country roads, take me home to the place I belong. West Virginia, mountain momma, take me home, country roads. ***I hear her voice in the morning hour she calls me****, the radio reminds me of my home far away. 1) ***I hear her voice in the morning hour she calls me**** This line sounds like this to me: I hear her voice in the morning hours SHE CALLS ME - Not the hours she talks to my sister. "She calls me" is modifying "the morning hours". So, in this case, we could add a "when" before "shen calls me" to make it clearer as in sentence 2): 2) I hear her voice in the morning hours WHEN she calls me. Just like: 3) I went to Italy on the day WHEN he got a job there. Questions: How would sentence 1) sound to a native speaker of English? Is the "WHEN" in sentences 2)&3) necessary? Thanks a lot!
Native English speakers, coulld you please help me with these issues?
1. Is it correct to say: "to lay the table" when you mean to prepare a table for a meal (such by placing the dishes, the eating utensils and the napkins on the table)? 2. And what verb would you use to the opposite action a the end of the meal (or by removing all the dishes, etc...)? Could it be 'to remove the table'? (I doesn't seem like so...)
Do you use this word - Gist? (English native speakers please)
Your question about Gister (and Gist, with a capital) makes me wonder if you’re referring to the word gist, which is traditionally defined as “the main or essential part of a matter” or to something else. I’m only familiar with its traditional meaning, and use it accordingly when called for. I haven’t come across a different meaning for it in English.As for Gister: The urban dictionary has the following definition for Gister (a word that I’ve never previously come across): gister One who gets the gist of a subject matter and knows enough to be dangerous with that subject in conversation or writing. One with proven gisting abilities. A gister can participate in conversations with subject experts without getting lost along the way.
