If you aren\'t in over your head, how do you know how tall you are?
T. S. EliotFinish each day and be done with it. You have done what you could; some blunders and absurdities have crept in; forget them
as soon as you can. Tomorrow is a new day; you shall begin it serenely and with too high a spirit to be encumbered with your
old nonsense. --Ralph Waldo Emerson

Our difficulties of the moment must always be dealt with somehow, but our permanent difficulties are difficulties of every
moment.
T. S. Eliot

If painting weren\'t so difficult, it wouldn\'t be fun.
Edgar Degas
