Hope for the best, expect the worst.

Angela Carter

Hope for the Best. Expect the worst. Life is a play. We're unrehearsed.

Mel Brooks

I think we have every reason to hope for the best but expect and prepare for the worst.

Van Jones

I have been able to hope for the best, expect the worst, and take what comes along. If there has been one fundamental reason for my success, this is it.

Gene Sarazen

'Expect nothing and hope for the best' is my mantra. A drama teacher called Joseph Blatchley told me that, and it's the best advice I've had. If you keep an open mind and don't expect too much, then you won't be disappointed.

Michelle Dockery

You ask DeAndre Hopkins or you ask Julio Jones who's the best receiver, I don't expect them, even if they did think it was me, I would expect them to say it was them because that's the kind of mentality you should have.

Davante Adams

For what it’s worth: it’s never too late or, in my case, too early to be whoever you want to be. There’s no time limit, stop whenever you want. You can change or stay the same, there are no rules to this thing. We can make the best or the worst of it. I hope you make the best of it. And I hope you see things that startle you. I hope you feel things you never felt before. I hope you meet people with a different point of view. I hope you live a life you’re proud of. If you find that you’re not, I hope you have the courage to start all over again.

Eric Roth

If you know that life is basically going to be horrendously difficult, at best, and all but unlivable at worst, or possibly even unlivable, do you go on? And the choice to go on is the only thing that I think can be called hope. Because if hope isn't forced to encounter the worst possibility, then it's a lie.

Tony Kushner

They say 'expect the worst.' I say 'Expect the best and even better will happen.'

Rima Fakih

Plan for the worst, expect the best.

David Gemmell

I plan for the best and expect the worst.

Jim Root

Expect the best, Prepare for the worst.

Muhammad Ali Jinnah

I did this one movie with a great director named Wayne Kramer. It was 'Crossing Over,' and Harrison Ford, Ashley Judd and Ray Liotta were in it. I was one of the leads, and I thought this was it. It got shelved for two years, and then it was in theaters maybe a week. After that, I adopted a philosophy of, 'Hope for the best, expect the worst.'
