What is your audio axiom?

So we all have been given audio advice and also shared with others our tips and advice. I ask you to share your #1 audio axiom. If you were giving advice or sharing experience (say to a young person starting in this hobby) what would it be? 
 

Here is mine (to start). “No matter how good your audio equipment or system, the quality of any given recording will make or break the listening experience”

Now the ball is handed to you guys…

 isten to as much gear as necessary; only you know that.  Trust what you like and that fits your budget.  And finally, don't get bogged down with perfectionist paralysis.  chasing something that doesn't exist will only lead to unhappiness.

Be an audio rebel; learn what you can in the process, but part of that is also to unlearn some of what you have and (keep) being open minded and maintain (or develop) a perspective in this endeavor. Audiophilia as an industry, business and marketing approach is one thing - we shouldn't be married to it and play willingly along like lap dogs, but rather find our own path. And while being on good terms with dealers can be beneficial it's most important, from my chair, to let your findings guide you along the way - wherever it leads you.
