minus-squarehabitualcynic@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkarrow-up0·edit-22 years ago Comparison is the thief of happiness. I have many favorites, but this comes to mind often. Fear shrinks the brain. Is another good one.

minus-squareCanadaPlus@lemmy.sdf.orglinkfedilinkarrow-up0·2 years agoFunny. “Fear keeps you alive” is one I use fairly often.

Wholeheartedly agree
