Foresight Quotations
When you're drowning, you don't say 'I would be incredibly pleased if someone would have the foresight to notice me drowning and come and help me,' you just scream. John Lennon Forethought we may have, undoubtedly, but not foresight. Napoleon Bonaparte Fear is the mother of foresight. Thomas Hardy What helps luck is a habit of watching for opportunities, of having a patient but restless mind, of sacrificing one's ease or vanity, or uniting a love of detail to foresight, and of passing through hard times bravely and cheerfully. Victor Cherbuliez If knowledge and foresight are too penetrating and deep, unify them with ease and sincerity. Xun Zi |
