You don't want to lose your old friend - the misery - You have invested too much into false - Hence the fear to be exposed -to be true - to be naked as you are.

If you place your head in a lion's mouth, then you cannot complain one day if he happens to bite it off.

There is a wisdom of the head, and... there is a wisdom of the heart.

The greatest deception men suffer is from their own opinions.

Empty pockets never held anyone back. Only empty heads and empty hearts can do that.

I mistrust the judgement of every man in a case in which his own wishes are concerned.

Those who know, do. Those that understand, teach.
