William Shakespeare
“Scriptural lessons not put into practice are poison; a meal is poison to him who suffers from indigestion; a social gathering is poison to a poverty stricken person; and a young wife is poison to an aged man.”
Chanakya
“Even if a snake is not poisonous, it should pretend to be venomous.”
“You can't talk of the dangers of snake poisoning and not mention snakes.”
Dr. C. Everett Koop
“Progress would not have been the rarity it is if the early food had not been the late poison.”
Walter Bagehot
“I did not see the whole. I only saw this rock ahead of me; I only saw this poisonous snake which I had to kill in order to take the next step. I only saw the problem directly in front of me. If I had seen the whole thing, I would have been too overwhelmed to have attempted this.”
Henry Morton Stanley
