Quote by Henry Winkler

Assumptions are the termites of relationships.

Assumptions are the termites of relationships.

Summary

This quote suggests that assumptions can slowly eat away at the foundations of relationships, much like termites that slowly destroy the integrity of a house. When we make assumptions about others, we build walls instead of bridges. Assumptions create misunderstandings, miscommunications, and unrealistic expectations, which can lead to conflict and strain relationships. To cultivate healthy relationships, it is essential to foster open and honest communication, avoiding assumptions and instead seeking clarification and understanding.

Here with hosts of friends I revel who can never change or chill;Though the fleeting years and seasons they are fair and faithful still!Kings and courtiers, knights and jesters, belles and beaux of far away,Meet and mingle with the beauties and the heroes of to-day.All the lore of ancient sages, all the light of souls divine,All the music, wit and wisdom of the gray old world is mine,Garnered here where fall the shadows of the mystic pineland's gloom!And I sway an airy kingdom from my little book-lined room.
