“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.”
“Chance favors only the prepared mind.”
“The eye sees only what the mind is prepared to comprehend.”
“Where observation is concerned, chance favors only the prepared mind.”
