If someone asks you to run the 100 yard dash as fast as you can, you'll run the 100 dash as fast as you think you can.

And of course we are familiar with the English common law rule of thumb that said a man could in fact use a stick no bigger than his thumb to discipline his wife and family.
I've always had this rule of thumb: If you have fun making it, then someone will have fun watching it.
Its success lies in the fact that it's an insurance plan, not an investment plan or a welfare plan.
The harder we try to catch hold of the moment, to seize a pleasant sensation..., the more elusive it becomes... It is like trying to clutch water in one's hands - the harder one grips, the faster it slips through one's fingers.
