Never argue with a pig; you'll just get dirty and the pig likes that!

It's not a matter of "right" or "wrong", but what is the WISE thing to do.

Use it or lose it.

Consider the source. Two wrongs don't make a right. If it isn't done right...it isn't done. You will never regret buying quality. These sayings have helped me through some difficult situations and decisions.
