Everything I need to know, I learned from Firefly and Serenity

The journey is the worthier part.

Even if you're on the losing side, it doesn't mean you're on the wrong one.

You don't fix faith, it fixes you.

The wheel keeps turnin', but it only matters to those on the rim.

Never admit that you're unarmed.

There's always time for some thrillin' heroics.

Reputation? It's gossip; people talking.

You can't stop the Signal.

They usually have the advantage on us. That's what makes us special.

Pain is scary.

Sleepiness shows lack of character; Ask anyone.

You shouldn't hit a man with a closed fist but it is, on occasion, hilarious.

"Sanguine" means both Hopeful and Bloody, which just about covers everything.

A man is just a boy old enough to ask if he is a man.

Things are bigger when you can't see them.

If you can't do something Smart, do something Right.

Everyone has their own way of doing things... Some people juggle geese.

If you're still flyin' it may not be much, but it's enough.

Telling someone you're going to shoot them doesn't give them incentive to talk.

Never again with Cows. Beagles have smaller droppings.

Love meeting people. They all have stories.

"Companion" can be used as a verb.

Most History was written by someone hiding the truth.

While you can, Soar like a Leaf on the Wind

If the rain gets worse, we'll pass through it soon enough.

Mercy is the mark of a great man. And I'm alright.

No power in the 'Verse can stop us.

Keep Flyin', and....

Stay Shiny!

Brilliant stuff, mate. It's worse than you think, it usually is, with so much more.

Great compilation!

Thanks, everyone. I had fun with this, and may add to it later. It's fun to look at it and try to figure out where some of these came from.

I changed the "Leaf on the wind" one slightly, and added one about why we're so special.

Nice, Earthgirl. I wasn't aware you had that, and I can't read what it says lol. But yeah... great minds think alike

You're welcome to use this, if you wish, though I might do something with it myself eventually. I have an online shop, but only have one item in it. This looks poster-ish, donchathink?

What about them? You know neither, so you may or may not have learned them from Firefly.

Not sure about spelling, but in math Firefly taught me that nothing into nothing equals nothing.

On the topic of the useful life lessons that Firefly offers us, here's a little bit of fan art I did back in the day...

Starting working on this shortly after Firefly was cruelly cancelled... was one of the ways I used to work through the grief. This poster was created before the Serenity movie was even known about, so all the lessons are rooted in Firefly. 'spose it would be good to make a Serenity inspired one some day, or combine them.

Anyway, there's a rich source of material from which to drawn in both the show and movie!

How about using the exact quote?

Look for it up above.

11thHour, that was beautiful. Xie-xie neh for sharing that with us. There's a few in there that can definitely be added to the list. This just goes to show that, for Browncoats, the Sereniverse is an endless source of Inspiration.

Happy to share... but please don't feel I posted it to get some of the quotes added. I'm very interested to see the new ones folks come up with. There's so much great material in the show and movie that maybe gets overlooked. There are the classic lines we know and love, but there's so many other gems to be found.

I remember at the time when I was putting together this poster that I had to take out several good quotes due to space limitations. I think one of them might have had to do with not keeping company with someone who'll get you tattooed while you're passed out... or somesuch... heh...

I don't believe I learned anything new, Firefly and Serenity just reflected what I already knew and how I live my life....the only new things I got from them were a fresh admiration for the cast and crew's talent and skills....and a crush on Nathan Fillion of course(but only after listening to the commentaries for "War Stories")

A few years ago I copied and saved almost two thousand Firefly/Serenity pics and artwork, including everything I could find on the Web and in the Blue Sun Room. I remember your Life Lessons very well. I must have read it a hundred times. I also know that a lot of what I now possess in a file was created by you as well. Thank you!
