They're only principles if they make you say no to things that you would like to do. Otherwise, they are just sparkling theater.

Many years ago Daniel (@kinnison), Richard, and I kept a group blog called Yakking. One of the best things we wrote was a series on truisms. This was by Daniel, with some input from the rest of us. I still recommend these. They're very deep truths, despite being surface-level funny.
