You own wisdom thread --- say something quotable about whatever you want.

[rickymooston]

Quotes are by definition brief.  Try and keep one quote per post.¹  I will accept quotable comments by other users provided you link in their post properly. I will NOT accept quotes from famous people. The point of this is the OPPOSITE to Codd's; i.e., ordinary people can say enlightened things.

Let me start:

"Your strenghts are also your limitations",

If you surrender an argument without even making a case, the loss is your own fault. If you don't assume failure, make a case and still "lose", then you should understand your own case better. Don't presume to know what truly lies in the mind of somebody else.
