What is the best advise one-liner you know? Something that you "live" by or could live by or be posted on your shop wall.

Oh man, I just LOVE this one..... K.I.S.S. Keep It Simple Stupid. We hear over and over in here that after replacing / re-doing all the 'hard things' that it was just a 'simple, little thing' that caused the 'problem.' And, ain't it amazing, we've ALL done it.......  :confused: :confused: Bill.

I got some wooden round "to its" a few years back...LOL
John, it all depends on how you 'love' your neighbor...
