No matter how sharp a knife is, it can never cut its handle.


The knife that has been lent, never comes back alone.	Romanian proverb

The knife that has been lent, never comes back alone.

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.

Stephen King

Obession is dangerous. It’s like a knife in the mind. In some cases... the knife can turn savagely upon the person wielding it... You use the knife carefully, because you know it doesn’t care who it cuts.
