WHY LITIGATION MUST BE AVOIDED AT ALL COSTS....
( Dr. Sigmund T. Schukelgruber speaks his mind )

Taking a dispute to court through a lengthy, protracted and extremely costly litigation process has to be an act of gross stupidity or insanity. Such a course of action flies in the face of common sense and rational thinking.
Given all the other available options, one of which is to back down and accept the injustice that decision may bring, both parties would be well advised to first read and reflect on the following age-old, wisdom packed proverbs.......before crossing the Rubicon in seeking a cost-effective way to settle their differences . 

- When in doubt, don't 
- The best armour is to keep out of range
- Call on God, but row away from the rocks
- Look before you leap
- A fool and his money are soon parted
- Always choose the lesser of two evils
- To know the road ahead, ask those coming back 
- Many receive advice from lawyers, but few profit by it
- Going to court is the triumph of hope over experience
- It is better to lose a finger than a hand or an arm
- Caution is the parent of safety
- Exercising extreme caution does no harm
- Faith is believing in things when common sense tells you not so
- Always walk on the safe side of the street
- When parties turn to the courts to resolve a dispute, they are often looking in the wrong place
- Lawyers' advice can be like straw thrown onto a fire
- If you play with fire you get burned
- Don't cut your nose off to spite your face
- Going to court is nothing more than a lottery
- There is never any certainty when an adversarial system leads to creative legal advocacy
