Thinking of and searching for a proverb starting with "X" has proven to be impossible for me. And so, I will do something different.
Instead, I will quote someone who has a name that starts with "X".
Xunzi was a Chinese Confucian philosopher, and one that I find fascinating. He believed things such as human nature is evil and that goodness is caused by intentional activity.
You can read more about him here.
A quote from him is:
"A person is born with feelings of envy and hate. If he gives way to them, they will lead him to violence and crime, and any sense of loyalty and good faith will be abandoned."
I don't think Xunzi and I would have gotten along. Great find for an X post, though.
