Prepared

Famous quotes containing the word prepared:

    If we bring not the good courage of minds covetous of truth, and truth only, prepared to hear all things, and decide upon all things, according to evidence, we should do more wisely to sit down contented in ignorance, than to bestir ourselves only to reap disappointment.
    Frances Wright (1795–1852)

    Those who prepared for all the emergencies of life beforehand may equip themselves at the expense of joy.
    —E.M. (Edward Morgan)

    Today’s fathers and mothers—with only the American dream for guidance—extend and overextend themselves, physically, emotionally, and financially, during the best years of their lives to ensure that their children will grow up prepared to do better and go further than they did.
    Stella Chess (20th century)
