  3. Assumptions lead to terrible consequences.

    I remember them using the word assume in Seinfeld once. It was amusing.

    Assumption is the mother of all fuck ups. That’s the quote I like. It’s nice. It’s snappy.

    The girl did not respond and instead beckoned the mother over to her. she whispered softly, “I need help.”

  9. If you simply assume without checking with the person concerned, there is very little that could be done to resolve the issue arising on account of that assumption.

    I learnt it the hard way last May when I was in Kraabi in Thailand for an offsite held by my employer; the offsite was for making a Mission/Vision statement for the company.

  10. Don’t assume that you know what’s going on here. You really don’t. Everything you’ve ever seen, everything you’ve ever thought that you’ve “known” is nothing in the big picture. There are things outside of what we can see that are just too enormous, just too amazing, just to gargantuan for us to even comprehend.

    And you know what? What is happening here and now matters more than all of those things.

    Chris
  11. this is what you do when you think you know what is going on. Really all you have is a bit of information maybe at best. You try to piece together the facts but really your clueless. It is what most people do instead of asking a real question. It was detectives do.

  12. now john knew he wasn’t to assume anything, but its hard to imagine that the headless corpse wasn’t the result of a murder. He thought it might be possible that the person had committed suicide or perhaps died of a fatal illness and then someone just happened on the body and decapitated it, but it seemed unlikely.

  13. What is it to assume? Why do we feel that we can assume? When I asssume, I am using my experiences to make a story about what someone else has or will do. It is imagination, pretention. It is what we do, daily, hourly. Our lives can be full of assumptions.

    Jen
  14. We all assume that we need something that we want. But that doesn’t always mean that we get what we want – or what we need. Like a 2 year old who “needs” some chocolate or a 3 year old who needs a bike…

  15. There is nothing I would rather do. But assume this is not what you thought.

    Scherz
  16. i assume sir that you are not right in the head. you are simply crazy. i could not even fathim what life would be like in your shoes. quite frankly i think i might kill myself if i was.

    lulu
  17. Makes an ass out of u and me! That is one of my daughters favourite sayings. It is the cause of many disagreements

  18. Those who quit their proper character to assume what does not belong to them are, for the greater part, ignorant both of the character they leave and of the character they assume.

    Edmund Burke (1790)
  19. Let’s assume there is a reason I’m talking, that there is a motive for this tapping out of characters onto the white-space. Let’s further accept that one day a stranger will uncover these shapes arranged on a glowing field and unscramble their meaning, gliding these thoughts into the port of their mind. This is called “hope.’

    Brian Slusher

    cherie
  26. assuming there is a resaon why I need to go into deatils of this word I would say that assumption is a bet guess at the worst of times and a worst guess at the best of times. I would not like to assume anything but get better understanding of that which I need to assume about.

    Richard Page
  27. Assume is like making and ass of u and me. IBut assume also means imagination, creating a story, spinning a yarn about someone without having no idea who or what they are. what if you see a man and assume he is an ass…

  28. it was a horrible time, but it was not my fault. Just because it happened around me, does not mean I caused it. People always assume the worst around me because I’m different, they just don’t understand me, or who i am. But that’s O.K, I’m proud to be different.

    Rory

  31. He kept telling me, actually screaming at me. I wasn’t exactly sure what he was screaming at me about. I stopped paying attention once his voice reached that shrieking level. I did catch something about how assumptions make an ass out of you and me.

  32. Assumption is the hardest thing ive ever had to dal with. Whether its the assumption that other people make about whats going on in my head or the assumption that i have that people actually care enough to speculate whats goin on in there. The greatest fault that we make is due to assumption.

    AB
  33. DOn’t assume that you have anything to give this world, unless you are willing to offer all of yourself. Take a risk, make that jump. You cannot assume unless you are willing to leap.
    Assumptions are for cowards….

    Nikki
  34. Some people think that assumptions are a bad thing. This isn’t always necessarily true. At times, it can make for good surprises when assuming that somebody will like something. On the other hand, people say that when you assume, you make an ass out of you and me. although this is the majority of the time for me, I believe that I still have a delightful gift of reading people.

    Adam Chase
  35. Don’t assume, it makes an ass out of out and me. My best friend Joey used to say that all the time, the hypocrite. Everyone has all thses nessisary assumptions about everything, about the little things that are really the big things. That others are consious, that what we know of reality is in fact reality…

    Kelsey
  36. it means that you expect something to be or act the way you think it will; it means that something will be right; it is reliable;

  37. assume makes an ass out of u and me.
    i try not to assume anything, any more. it’s always so much easier in the books, isn’t it?

    all-knowing, all-seeing, all-wise. omnipotent, omniscient, omnipresent.

    long white beard and twinkling grey eyes, cloak and staff and gruff laughing voice. wisdom and endurance and a little tiny bit of aloofness. gandalf, dumbledore, merlin, all the great mentors. quest literature.

    why do the writers always think we want the same thing?

    bit of an assumption, wouldn’t you say?

    claire
  38. assume that you have something.It is to be assumed that something is with you. Assumptions pay off.NOw that you have assumed something, you can proceed with the other thing. Assume that the assumptions will work and the result will be what is assumed.

    Harsh
  39. you cannot simply assume that all i tell you is true, that there is no other way but the one i say. this day you must set aside your beliefs and follow only what your heart says. forget what you’ve been taught. do not assume the truth, but discover it.

    Zanja
  40. I assume that things are not what they appear.
    I assume your of age to smoke.

    I assume my life is at its end.
