and sometimes good things fall apart so better things can fall together.
- Marilyn Monroe

Action is a great restorer and builder of confidence.
Inaction is not only the result, but the cause, of fear.

But any action is better than no action at all.
- Norman Vincent Peale

Up again, you shall never be so afraid of a tumble.
