Whether the knife falls on the melon or the melon on the knife, the melon suffers.

Gordon Graham

Decision is a sharp knife that cuts or to do anything, never to turn back or to stop until the thing intended was clean and straight; indecision, a dull one that hacks and tears and leaves ragged edges behind it.

Rodney Dangerfield
