[Kätzchen]

.....To turn the prevailing tide.....

A phrase which means that you desire conditions to improve, get better.

[Kätzchen]

...... Come what may.......

To state that you're in it for the long haul, no matter the outcome, that you're committed to seeing it through.

[Kätzchen]

...... to take the high road .....

To infer that you'd rather exercise a choice to do what's right, not only for yourself, but for the overall good of yourself or others.

Sidebar: I'm not exactly fond of this idiom because there's no need really to assert your position. For example, just do the right thing and don't call attention to it. In other words, don't let one hand dictate what the other hand does. Just do it (nike).

[Kätzchen]

..... Make it count .....

Not sure that I like this saying either, but I've heard it used by preachers, church going folks, or by anyone in general. And like some turns of phrase, it can mean almost anything, depending on the way the 'message' is delivered (ie, tone of voice, facial expression, point of entry or exit in use).

I've heard it used in pejorative ways more often than I've heard it expressed in positive terms.

Take what works for you, toss out what doesn't.
