'Tis an old maxim........

The photos were hung up in the window around the corner from me on Brunswick st

'Tis an old maxim in the schools,
That flattery's the food of fools;
Yet now and then your men of wit
Will condescend to take a bit.

Jonathan Swift (1667-1745)

Deal with the difficult,
While it is still easy.
Solve large problems
When they are still small.
Preventing large problems
By taking small steps
Is easier than solving them.
By small actions
Great things are accomplished

.
Lao Tzu
