“A French proverb says ‘Wait until it is night before saying that it has been a fine day.’ To tell it more precise, wait till the clock strikes the midnight!”
“Do not wait to strike till the iron is hot; but make it hot by striking.”
“One must wait until the evening to see how splendid the day has been.”
“Nothing ever becomes real till experienced – even a proverb is no proverb until your life has illustrated it”
“how could he wait until midnight?”
“Midnight, and the clock strikes. It is Christmas Day, the werewolves birthday, the door of the solstice still wide enough open to let them all slink through.”
