Phrases to Live by

[Mark37082]

I find as I advance in age that certain phrases become more meaningful in keeping me from making mistakes in everyday life. Some are very pertinent to hunting and shooting. I can't count the number of times I have let the heat of the moment pull me into a bad decision, but sometimes a quick reference to an old wise saying has led me down a better path and rewarded me in the future.
So words to live by in our passion may not only help control our emotional urges, but also help individuals jumping into the hobby.
Reloading: "Buy cheap and stack deep". Measure twice and cut/form/drop once.
Shooting: It's usually the nut behind the trigger.
Hunting: Same as above. Don't shoot it if you can't carry it out.
General: Buy once and cry once.
Any words of wisdom?
