**1\. It’s better to be on anchor wishing you were out sailing than out sailing wishing you were on anchor.** This one is a recent addition to our repertoire, thanks to a friend of ours.

**4\. The pessimist complains about the wind; the optimist expects it to change; the realist adjusts the sails.** Which one are you?
