Eggs are better served cold

Hot issues are better resolved when there is less tension. This proverb, coined by Snow (John Snow), means that emotional conflicts or sensitive situations are best handled after tempers have cooled — not in the heat of the moment. Like eggs that can still be enjoyed after chilling, some matters are better when allowed time to settle.
“I wanted to confront my business partner yesterday, but I waited. You know what they say — eggs are better served cold.”

It's better to miss a friend than to miss a joke

This comes from a brazilian saying. It basically means that if you're making jokes and someone gets offended ( on a personal level ), that is no reason to stop making those jokes. This, of course, isn't an excuse to just be an asshole, and must be used with nuance. The saying could also be directly translated to

"It's better to lose a friend than to lose a joke"
Guy 1 (whose wife died to stillbirth): Wow, these celebrities are crazy
Guy 2: What happened?
Guy 1: I checked the news, and it looks like the rapper DaBaby killed his wife
Guy 2: Well, "The Baby" also killed YOUR wife
Guy 1: Low blow dude
Guy 2: It's better to miss a friend than to miss a joke
