That man is prudent who neither hopes nor fears anything from the uncertain events of the future.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
A man may be a pessimistic determinist before lunch and an optimistic believer in the will's freedom after it.
He that hopes no good fears no ill.
A pessimist is a man who tells the truth prematurely.
The man who can put himself in the place of other men, who can understand the workings of their minds, need never worry about what the future has in store for him.
He who is not courageous enough to take risks will accomplish nothing in life.
We need not be afraid of the future, for the future will be in our own hands.
One cannot plan for the unexpected.
Neither a wise man nor a brave man lies down on the tracks of history to wait for the train of the future to run over him.
No one loves the man whom he fears.
Everyone wishes that the man whom he fears would perish.
