What is your audio axiom?


So we all have been given audio advice and also shared with others our tips and advice. I ask you to share your #1 audio axiom. If you were giving advice or sharing experience (say to a young person starting in this hobby) what would it be? 
 

Here is mine (to start). “No matter how good your audio equipment or system, the quality of any given recording will make or break the listening experience”

Now the ball is handed to you guys…

The recording is 75% of the experience, the other half is mental - Yogi Berra 

Maybe these are not audiophile shibboleths but they work. 

Don’t call somebody’s baby ugly. 

Every time I find it, I loose it. 

Assume nothing!

“If you don’t know where you are going, you might wind up someplace else.” Yogi Berra

 

 

 

"if nobody is in the listening room, is there a soundstage?"

(Yogi Berra?)

There no such thing as too many speakers as long as they all sound different.
