I love all those. And I will put the one about the cage of thoughts in my house. I’m real good at building cages of thoughts, apparently.
It is not as good, but I bought myself a card once, saying “you do not have to believe everything you think”. I put it up in front of me if I start to slide into delusion. I’ll put the cage one next to it.

I think this is the correct quote; Makes more sense:
But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid .”
