Or so they say, lets stick with it sounds about right! 😉

Sticking with something because it "sounds right" is not always a good idea.

Then forget about "the early bird getting the worm". 😛 That is quite a sticky saying.

Stick with that thought as it has been stated many times during the course of the years it has been played.

Uhmmm...well, actually:

"Big stick ideology, big stick diplomacy, or big stick policy refers to U.S. President Theodore Roosevelt’s foreign policy: 'speak softly and carry a big stick.'"

I liked Movie Walking Tall where the Actor carried a big stick and walked softly.

The ideology sounds very old as it was something Theodore Roosevelts said. 🙂

Take care, when walking tall in the trenches.
The head is not so firmly attached.
A well aimed round, from yonder battleground.
And a sticky mush, replaces what's become detached.

Stick with that approach if someone disagrees with you. 😛

You are right there - I generally stick to rules, that's why they are rules and not just a recommendation, and that is especially easy when I choose to participate of my own free will.
