If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Sir Winston Churchill 10.
Assumption is the mother of screw-up.
The loftier your goals, the higher your risk, the greater, your glory. Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for another. The guts carry the feet, not the feet the guts. One represents danger, and the other represents opportunity. Adversity introduces a man to himself.
