Measure twice, cut once.

The harder I practice, the luckier I get.

Never give a sucker an even break.

I am like God and God like me. I am as Large as God, He is as small as I. He cannot above me, nor I beneath him be.

[Pharmacovigilant]

A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.

Excerpt from a speech by Teddy Roosevelt:

Commonly referred to as: "The man in the Arena

It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.

*In other words, as was also put by Author Unknown: "Coins, medallions, statues, obelisks, medals, and other commemorative monuments are not struck in honor of critics."
