quote (again)

I find this quote to be so humbling:

When I was a child, my mother said to me, 'If you become a soldier, you will become a general. If you become a monk, then you will end up as Pope.' Instead, I became a painter, and wound up as Picasso. -Pablo Picasso

quote

Here is one of my favorite quotes:

Oh what a tangled web we weave,
When first we practise to deceive!

Sir Walter Scott, Marmion, Canto vi. Stanza 17.
Scottish author & novelist (1771 - 1832)

It's so true and really echoes a lesson I've learned here: That lying/deceiving only digs a deeper hole and really doesn't help with anything. And I mean this in regards to others; that I've seen others ruin friendships and whatnot just because they couldn't stop lying/deceiving.
