To assume that I and I alone have all the answers is to eventually find myself entirely alone without any answers. — Craig D. Lounsbrough
I always assumed that everybody shared my love for overcast skies. It came as a shock to find out that some people prefer sunshine. — Glenn Gould
Assumptions are quick exits for lazy minds that like to graze out in the fields without bother. — Suzy Kassem
Before you assume try this crazy method called “asking.” — curiano.com
I don’t assume there’s a song called “Don’t Assume.” I’m going to ask YouTube about that.
It took a while, but I found “Don’t Assume” by Nichols’n’Nu (Maggie Nichols and Peter Nu).
Don’t assume that Maggie’s name is always spelled correctly on that album cover.

Nicol for your thoughts, Maggie … Yikes, that’s a tough typo to take there, Ann. But I’m assuming one of the versions is a mistake, aren’t I?
Sometimes assumptions are inevitable, Mark, and I love the way your comments make so much cents.
Assumption is fraught with peril, it leads to regret, missed opportunities and miscommunication. Great post. 🙂 PS – I share your fondness for clouds. Big hug and thank you.
Thank you for the great comment. Assume that I’m sending a big hug back at you!
While archiving some old emails this morning I found this quote, which reminds me that we can never assume we know where we’ll find useful information.
If there be such a thing as truth, it must infallibly be struck out by the collision of mind with mind. -William Godwin, philosopher and novelist (3 Mar 1756-1836)
The truth is that I love the collision of your mind with mine.
Assumptions aren’t good for anything, Ann 🙂
Your comments are good for everything, Irene!
I am curious about what inspired today’s topic.
There is a Transit strike in my city this week. One of my kids has an exam at University this morning, and we are expecting – but not assuming — that he will try to bike in.
Thanks for asking rather than assuming, Maureen. I often think about how assumptions get us into trouble and two of my three photos were about assumptions so …. voila!
I assume that music was not a huge commercial success!
I think that is a safe assumption, Peter.
People , at times , assume by first impressions instead of taking the time to further be acquainted …
Thank you for taking the time to make this comment!

I remember being a kid and watching the movie The Bad News Bears, and it was the first time I learned of the other meaning of ass-u-me 🙂 Wishing you a beautiful weekend, Ann.
Randall, you can always assume that I am thinking about you with gratitude. Thank you, as always, for your beautiful blog and for this comment.
Thank you Ann, and me as well. The beauty of friendships and great people. Wishing you well ~
I am very good at assuming, and have been on the wrong side of that street many times! Love this: “Assumptions are quick exits for lazy minds that like to graze out in the fields without bother.”
Assume that I love your comments, Debra, because I always do!
