- What's your favorite preparedness quote?

One quote that always sticks with me is, “Hope for the best, prepare for the worst.” It’s simple, but it really sums up how I try to balance staying positive with being practical. I remember teaching first aid at the community center, and so many folks felt overwhelmed at first. But reminding them it’s not about expecting disaster—just about having the basics ready—helped a lot.

OldTimerJohn, I’m curious if you have any quotes that you lean on when things get tough? For me, it’s also about reminding myself that it’s okay not to have everything perfect. Even a little bit of preparation can make a huge difference. Sometimes I jot down encouraging quotes on my seed packets in the garden just to keep myself motivated. Funny how a few words can help you keep going, whether it’s with prepping or just getting through an off day.
