“Prepare yourself for something dreadful.”
“To expect and dread a thing for a lifetime; does not prepare you for the thing itself.”
“Well, prepare yourself. I am all kinds of thoughtful this week. I brought you something else.”
“Do not compare yourself with others, prepare yourself for the glorious victory.”
“I take his hand, holding on tightly, preparing for the cameras, and dreading the moment when I will finally have to let go.”
“Fear is a sign to prepare yourself, not to stop.”
