Fail fast and often – stu.mp
I will keep this at the front of my mind. Bret Taylor repeated a related axiom: don't bother doing anything that takes longer than a few days. Prototyping should be fast; it should be easy to evaluate whether further effort is warranted an easy to abandon if not. The former requires skill in design. The latter requires the discipline to recognize and accept small failures and cut your losses before they turn into catastrophic failures.

Caterina.net: How that idiot made 10 million dollars: Cities and Genius
I sometimes can't even verbalize what's so awesome about a city when I'm in small town Kentucky. It isn't quite what David Byrne says. It's a bit closer to what Caterina says. Whatever it is, though, you can't say it to someone who's lived their whole life around the same 15,000 people.
