Trivia ~

Pussy foot

"While Theodore Roosevelt did use and popularize this term, he did not invent it. Pussyfoot, which means a delicate soft step , comes from the imagery of a cat's careful tread. To pussyfoot is to proceed with caution. The term is American in origin and dates back at least to 1893." See terms

“When you have come to the edge

of

there will be something solid to stand on

or

you will be taught to fly”
