The grass may be greener on the other side of the fence, but it still has to be mowed. Eagles may soar, but weasels don't get sucked into jet engines. Early bird gets the worm, but the second mouse gets the cheese. If you think nobody cares about you, try missing a couple of mortgage payments. I'd kill for a Nobel Peace prize.
Chastity is curable, if detected early.
Love may be blind, but marriage is a real eye-opener. Hell hath no fury like the lawyer of a woman scorned. Bills travel through the mail at twice the speed of checks. Hard work pays off in the future. Laziness pays off now.
