“We have to prepare for the worst, and the worst is war.”
“There is always a part of my mind that is preparing for the worst, and another part of my mind that believes if I prepare enough for it, the worst won’t happen.”
“Hope for the best; prepare for the worst.”
“hope for the best, prepare for the worst”
“Expect the best, prepare for the worst.”
“First ask yourself: What is the worst that can happen? Then prepare to accept it. Then proceed to improve on the worst.”
