You know, like from Mark Twain, or maybe an original? Mine is an old Indian (Native American) proverb: "Praying is good. But always paddle away from the rocks."

"Be not afraid of growing slowly. Be only afraid of standing still" - my favorite. And yours reminds me of another one - an old English saying " Hope for the best, but be ready for the worst" Works perfectly in life.

Good one J,
Mine is old Irish:
"May all your ups and downs be between the sheets."
(I don't know who said it, but it makes me think of a great life and always gives me mental images to boot .... )

"If life were an apple, I'd eat it." Lol, I always get a few raised eyebrows on that one :)
