(True).

Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery....

When someone copies what you do, it means they really admire you or the way you do things

It's better to give than to receive........

Giving is more blessed than receiving.

I think this is true.
It always makes me happy giving someone an unexpected gift at an unexpected time

"Revenge is a dish best served cold."

Revenge works well when the target least expects it.

I would say this is very true!

An acquaintance, who earned her master's degree many years ago, at Ball State University, told me that all they had to do was copy another study....when constructing their own study.

I don't think think sort of imitation bodes well anymore but it's interesting how certain cases of imitation brought about Plagiarism law.

I understand the idiom, but I often wonder why anyone would accept imitation when, I'm guessing, the quirkiness of reality might be far better???

Very TRUE and an INTERESTING observation! But I think the idiom mainly speaks to being so enamored of someone you want to imitate them. I could be wrong, I dunno!

Necessity is the mother of invention...

When a person is in great need of something, he will find a way of getting it.

There is many a slip 'twixt the cup and the lip.........

Anything can go wrong at any time before a matter is settled,
