Phrases to Live by

[Flattire]

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?

As an altar boy from ages ten to twelve, I did not understand most of the sermons (more likely, any of them). One that riveted me and stays with me to today is one that was based on Luke 9:62: No one, having put his hand to the plow, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God. I can still hear Fr. Muenser in my head, bellowing "keep your hands on the plow and don't look back!"

I have been known to say, "your words and actions are not consistent."
