"You can't make an omelet without breaking a few eggs."
Old saying meaning today: The final result of your actions is more important that a few bumps in the road. Some things will not go right, but that doesn't mean that the whole picture will not be complete.
Go placidly amid the noise and the haste, and remember what peace there may be in silence. As far as possible, without surrender, be on good terms with all persons.
From Desiderata, written by Max Ehrmann
(My favorite poem)

Two young salmon are swimming along one day. As they do, they are passed by a wiser, older fish coming the other way. The wiser fish greets the two as he passes, saying, "Morning, boys! How's the water?"
The other two continue to swim in silence for a little while, until the first one turns to the other and asks, "What the hell is water?"
