Across the street where I grew up lived a fellow who did cabinet and  
woodwork in a little shop out back.  I spent many hours there  
listening to the tools and to him philosophize.  He said "Measure  
twice, cut once."

Also he said he had a very special hand saw that would cut a piece of  
wood a little longer.  He was good enough at measuring that I never  
saw him pull it out to use it, though.  I guess it was at the very  
bottom of the tool chest.
