“Do nothing but be prepared to do anything.”
“The cost of anything is what you are prepared to do to obtain it.”
“You can do anything in this world if you are prepared to take the consequences.”
“Life could do nothing for her, beyond giving time for a better preparation for death.”
“The only alternative seems to be doing nothing…and doing nothing, I find, rarely accomplishes anything”
“There is, though, nothing that prepares us for the worst things in our life. There is nothing you can do to stop the shock, or buffer the pain.”
