10 Things You Should Never Do
by Kindle Editors on 05/17/2011

Below is a guest post by psychologist Dr. Mardy Grothe, author of six books of qoutations. His newest book Neverisms is a comical, and at times even instructive, collection of things never to do.

When people say things like "Always do your best" they're engaging in the time-honored practice of exhortation. But what is the proper term for strongly-worded attempts to discourage people—as when people say things like "Never ruin an apology with an excuse." The proper term is dehortation, the opposite of exhortation. That word is rare, though, so I've coined my own term for these kinds of strongly-worded cautionary warnings. I've also used it to title my new book. In Neverisms: A Quotation Lover's Guide to Things You Should Never Do, Never Say, or Never Forget, www.amazon.com/Neverisms-Quotation-Lover...s_05162011_neverisms you will find nearly 2,000 pieces of "dissuasive advice given with authority." Some are ancient, but with modern relevance.

The conclusion? Never underestimate the power of a neverism to improve your life.

This is my favorite of the ones they listed:
1) "Never dare to judge until you have heard the other side." --Euripides, 5th century B.C.
