Birds of a feather flock together. Prepare for the worst and hope for the best. An idle mind is the devil's workshop. Thus, know when to be afraid, who to be afraid of and when not to be afraid. If any man lack wisdom let him ask of God.
Fences make good neighbors.
Every country gets the government they deserve. If you are lying flat on your face you cannot get knocked down. Thus, if you are humble before God and on your face before God, you will not get knocked on your face. The earth is all the hell the Christian will ever experience and all the heaven the unsaved will ever know. Talk is cheap because supply exceeds demand.
