Many public-school children seem to know only two dates - 1492 and 4th of July; and as a rule they don't know what happened on either occasion
I find that the further I go back, the better things were, whether they happened or not.
Some of the worst things in my life never even happened.
I have spent most of my life worrying about things that have never happened.
I have been on the verge of being an angel all my life, but it's never happened yet.
Most of the things I worried about in life never happened.
It may have happened, it may not have happened but it could have happened.
