If you are standing upright, don't worry if your shadow is crooked

If you stand straight, do not fear a crooked shadow.

When we have nothing to worry about we are not doing much, and not doing much supplies us with plenty of future worries

I like that, ... I actually never thought of that, coming in not having to worry about stepping into somebody's shadow. That's kind of nice.

Talk doesn't cook rice.

The black dog gets the food; the white dog gets the blame
