When the ox is at the slaughterhouse everyone comes running with their knives.

Gordon Graham

Decision is a sharp knife that cuts or to do anything, never to turn back or to stop until the thing intended was clean and straight; indecision, a dull one that hacks and tears and leaves ragged edges behind it.

The Holy Bible

Put a knife to thy throat, if you’re a man given to appetite.
