If you find yourself cutting corners, go in a circle instead

About This Quote

If you find yourself cutting corners, go in a circle instead. The idea is that if you cut corners, you’re likely to get caught up in the consequences of what you did. It’s like riding a bike. If you ride in a straight line, it can be safe and easy.

But if you cut corners, you often fall off. This quote is similar to the one above, but it’s not so much about cutting corners as it is about avoiding consequences. You can also see this saying in the movie Forrest Gump where Forrest says to Jenny when she's trying to sneak out of his house "I'm not gonna tell mom and dad if you don't."
