United we stand divided we fall. There is strength in numbers. A house divided cannot stand. Distance makes the heart grow fonder. Out of sight out of mind. No man is an island entire of itself. I did it my way. Only I can fix it. Where's the beef? Where's the wheat? What do you do when all there is is chaff? Pretend it's golden precious sacred? To fool whom for how long with what purpose/endgame?
