The past is a foreign country; they do things differently there.

晏子春秋

We are all guilty of crimes against each other.

Whatever the present moment contains, accept itas if you had chosen it.

Make decisions when you are ready, not under pressure. Others will always push you to make a decision for their own purposes, internal politics, or some other external need. But you can almost always say, “I need a little more time to think about this. I’ll get back to you.” This tactic is very effective at defusing even the most difficult and uncomfortable situations.
