The St. Francis 'Serenity' prayer:

"God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference."

From my mother, I learned the first half only of "Wise men think alike, and fools seldom differ."

"Not my pig, not my farm." Sounds stupid but it really helps me to let go of stuff that isn't my fault and isn't my problem.

It has a very similar meaning to one that I've been told is a Polish Proverb "Not my circus, not my monkeys". The meaning to it though is the same as your pig/farm one. Took me a long time to really understand and live by it but life is better for it.
 
Any sayings (or for that matter no formal sayings) that are the opposite of, "choose your friends carefully?"

Many thoughtful sayings simply don't take into account the challenges of even high functioning Autism/ Neurodiversity: Sayings that address "a paranoia of sorts" - being too quick to also condemn those awesome, trustworthy people worthy of freindships!

Any sayings (fell free to invent such sayings here in this disc. thread) on how such robust discussion-threads (like this disc. thread) might help break the ice?
 
Nothing about us without us.

Let your freak flag fly.

An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind.

Any/all variations of "fighting fire with fire just burns the whole world down"

Peace is not the absence of war.

Be the change you want to see.

The only constant is change.

Live and let live.

Power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely.

The personal is political.

All you need is love.
(I truly believe this in a way...

human infants may die without love, even when purely physical needs are met;

platonic love in its most general sense is the root of or closely related to/in some way arguably underlies : acceptance, tolerance, compassion, understanding, passion, interest, cooperation, generosity, trust, safety, motivation, courage, dedication)
 
"Righty tighty, lefty loosey" - as said to me by my late grandfather, circa 1995? (I think)

Anytime you have to turn a screw, turn to the left to loosen it, and to the right to tighten it.
