There is no poison on earth more potent, nor half so deadly, as a partial truth mixed with passion.
Michael J. Tucker

There is nothing more dreadful than the habit of doubt. Doubt separates people. It is a poison that disintegrates friendships and breaks up pleasant relations. It is a thorn that irritates and hurts; it is a sword that kills.
Buddha
