A german saying: "Besser Vorsicht als Nachsicht." It means that you should better be cautious or prepared beforehand than having to clean your mess up after it went wrong. Good preparations help you a lot in life.

I don't know where this quote originated. I first heard it from my future SO and it goes something like this
"It is human nature to assume that once we have found the answer, we will find peace. Instead, one must find peace first, then the answer will come."
Assumption is the mother of all fuckups.
"Seize the day, put no trust in the morrow" - Horace
"Seize the day and throttle it." - Calvin and Hobbes
Vincit qui se vincit - He conquers who conquers himself
