I had a story book when I was small, with several short stories. (fables, I think) I never knew the provenance of the tales, but earlier today I suddenly thought of this phrase from the book: The morning is wiser than the evening. You know how when you worry about something at night, and wonder what to do? Sometimes a good night's sleep will make things better. In the morning light things don't seem so bad any more.
This phrase is from a story called Vasilisa the Beautiful by Alexander Nikolayevich Afanasyev. (you can read it at the link, though I think it was better-written in my book. It was translated from Russian, after all.) Actually I didn't remember the story's title, I just remembered Baba-Yaga. :P It turns out that the phrase is actually a common Russian proverb.
