“there's no harm in hoping for the best as long as you're prepared for the worst.”

“Hoping for the best, prepared for the worst, and unsurprised by anything in between.”

“Expect the best. Prepare for the worst. Capitalize on what comes.”

“Hope for the best, plan for the worst.”

“Hope for the best, expect the worst.”

“Be prepared for the worst, my love, for it lives next door to the best.”

“It means that until 12 April, anything is possible: a deal, a long extension if the United Kingdom decided to rethink its strategy, or revoking Article 50, which is a prerogative of the UK government.

“Look, the point is there's no way to be a hundred percent sure about anyone or anything. So you're left with a choice. Either hope for the best or just expect the worst.”

“Hope for the best. Expect the worst.
The world's a stage. We're unrehearsed.
No way of knowing which way it's going.
Take your chances, there are no answers.
Hope for the best. Expect the worst.”

“Hope for the best. Expect the worst.
The world's a stage. We're unrehearsed.”
