Murphy's Law

Don't let assumptions stifle your capacity. Throw every one of them.

William N. Yeomans

Assumptions allow the best in life to pass you buy.

We simply assume that the way we see things is the way they really are or the way they should be. And our attitudes and behaviors grow out of these assumptions.

Don't make assumptions. Find the courage to ask questions and to express what you really want. Communicate with others as clearly as you can to avoid misunderstandings, sadness and drama. With just this one agreement, you can completely transform your life.

Miguel Angel Ruiz

Begin challenging your own assumptions. Your assumptions are your windows on the world. Scrub them off every once in awhile, or the light won't come in.

Euclid taught me that without assumptions there is no proof. Therefore, in any argument, examine the assumptions.

Most of our assumptions have outlived their uselessness.

The harder you fight to hold on to specific assumptions, the more likely there's gold in letting go of them.

John Seely Brown

You must stick to your conviction, but be ready to abandon your assumptions.
