Quote

Expect the best, Prepare for the worst.

Expect the best, plan for the worst, and prepare to be surprised.

They say 'expect the worst.' I say 'Expect the best and even better will happen.'

This is the precept by which I have lived: Prepare for the worst; expect the best; and take what comes.

'Expect nothing and hope for the best' is my mantra. A drama teacher called Joseph Blatchley told me that, and it's the best advice I've had. If you keep an open mind and don't expect too much, then you won't be disappointed.

I am prepared for the worst, but hope for the best.

First be best, then be first.

I am someone who hopes for the best and prepares for the worst.

Expecting is the greatest impediment to living. In anticipation of tomorrow, it loses today.

You should have high expectations for yourself and others should come second.
