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.

"Why not? You and I are eccentrics. We’re certainly not typical of the people living on Terminus. As for criminals, that’s a matter of definition. And if criminals are the price we must pay for rebels, heretics, and geniuses, I’m willing to pay it. I demand the price be paid.

There is bound to be a certain symmetry." - Foundation and Earth by Isaac Asimov
