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

I am prepared for the worst but hope for the best.

Government even in its best state is but a necessary evil in its worst state an intolerable one.

We must develop and maintain the capacity to forgive. He who is devoid of the power to forgive is devoid of the power to love. There is some good in the worst of us and some evil in the best of us. When we discover this we are less prone to hate our enemies.

This is the precept by which I have lived: Prepare for the worst expect the best and take what comes.

Whether it's the best of times or the worst of times it's the only time we've got.

The worst men often give the best advice.

It was the best of times it was the worst of times.

I am as bad as the worst but thank God I am as good as the best.

At his best man is the noblest of all animals separated from law and justice he is the worst.
