“Just sit back and relax. It will all work out well in the end - It always does!”
Wise words from Donald Trump, whose advice echoes the famous quote “Everything will be okay in the end. If it’s not okay, it’s not the end.”
That popular saying has been misattributed to Oscar Wilde, John Lennon and Paulo Coelho. In reality, it first appeared in the 1988 book “O tabuleiro de damas” (“The Checkerboard”), by Brazilian writer and journalist Fernando Sabino.
