About This Quote
We tend to believe that the grass on the other side of the hill is always greener. It's true that most of us would like to live in a better place than where we currently are, but what happens when that place is even better? Some people will feel happy to live in that place, but others will be too afraid to leave their current situation. The idea of grass on the other side of the hill comes from a saying made by the poet William Blake: "The grass on the other side of the hill is always greener." The grass on the other side of the hill may well be greener, but you should always check that there isn't something with teeth and claws crouching in it.
