The grass is not always greener
by Anonymous

The grass is not always greener
on the other side of the fence.
Fences have nothing to do with it.
The grass is greenest where it is watered.
When crossing over fences, carry water with you
and tend the grass wherever you may be.

But soon or late the man who wins is the one who thinks he can.
