Neither a wise man or a brave man lies down on the tracks of history to wait for the train of the future to run over him.

And if our future
Lies on the final line
Are we brave enough
To see the signals and the signs?Harry Chapin
You could have a steam train
If you'd just lay down your tracks.
You could have an aeroplane flying
If you bring your blue sky back.Peter Gabriel
My message to Sinn Fein is clear. The settlement train is leaving. I want you on that train. But it is leaving anyway and I will not allow it to wait for you.
Tony Blair
If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you,
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubting too;
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or being lied about, don't deal in lies,
Or being hated, don't give way to hating,
And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise.Rudyard Kipling
The sun, that brave man,
Comes through boughs that lie in wait,
That brave man.Wallace Stevens
