About This Quote
Assumptions are the termites of relationships. When we make assumptions about other people and how they feel and think, we allow ourselves to get stuck. We begin to view other people in a certain way and then feel like we should take actions based on that assumption. This is not healthy for anyone involved. Instead, we should try to clear up our own assumptions before we start making assumptions about other people.
