After a storm comes a calm.
Know or listen to those who know.
Never complain and never explain.
If you're going through hell, keep going.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.
Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
Leap, and the net will appear.
It was a fantastic learning experience and OK, I got slammed because I wasn't Audrey Hepburn but you could have predicted that, really, if you'd opened your eyes wide enough.
