There is nothing in the world which does not have its decisive moment, and the masterpiece of good management is to recognize and grasp this moment.

Il n'yu a rien dans le mond qui n'ait son moment decisif, et le chef-d'oeuvre de la bonne conduite est de connaître et de prendre ce moment.

Jean-Francois Paul de Gondi, Cardinal de Retz

And drinking largely sobers us again.
