"The Hebrew word for king 'melech' has an /m/ and then an /l/. And the Hebrew word for fool 'lemech', has an /l/ and then an /m/. The Hebrew word for intellect is 'molech' - has an /m/ and then an /l/. And the Hebrew word for heart, the seat of passion, is 'lev' - begins with an /l/. So if you put the head before the heart - the /m/ before the /l/ - you are a king, and if you put the heart before the head - the /l/ before the /m/ - you are a fool."
