Old sayings

There’s an old saying …

In management: what gets measured gets done.
In writing: if you can make a sentence shorter you can make it better.
In sports: offense sells tickets, defense wins championships.
In racing: in order to finish first, you must finish.
In politics: you’re entitled to your own opinions, but not your own facts.

There are countless more. When sayings are grounded in wisdom, they seem to hang around long enough to get old. Not all sayings stand the test of time, but some of them are certainly worth internalizing.
