Well, there is a saying in spanish:
"Mas Vale Pájaro en Mano que Ciento Volando"
Roughly translated:
"Better a bird in your hand than one hundred flying"
I think the English equivalent is:
"A sure thing is better than a possibility"
"The five senses obstruct or deform the apprehension of reality."
Jorge L. Borges?
"Premature optimization is the root of all evil in programming."
Donald Knuth, repeating C. A. R. Hoare
"To die for a religion is easier than to live it absolutely"
Jorge L. Borges
