|
Look before
you leap.
|
He who
hesitates is lost.
|
|
Two heads
are better than one.
|
If you want
something done right, do it yourself.
|
|
Nothing
ventured, nothing gained.
|
Better safe
than sorry.
|
|
Absence
makes the heart grow fonder.
|
Out of
sight, out of mind.
|
|
Clothes make the man.
|
You can't tell a book by
its cover.
|
|
Many hands make light work.
|
Too many cooks spoil the
broth.
|
|
It's never too late to
learn.
|
You can't teach an old dog
new tricks.
|
|
Never sweat the small
stuff.
|
God is in the details.

from Maybe (Maybe Not :
Second Thoughts from a Secret Life), by Robert Fulghum
*
One of the
exercises in Zen teaching is to envision living for a hundred years while
contemplating dying within twenty-four hours. Your ability to hold these
two thoughts simultaneously enables you to focus with greater clarity and
calmness in the present moment.
