About this quote

This traditional saying means that a person who is prepared for trouble is twice as effective as someone caught off guard. Foresight and caution allow you to anticipate difficulties and plan ahead, giving you a distinct advantage. By taking sensible precautions beforehand, you effectively double your strength and minimise the risk of being overwhelmed by unexpected events.

This is a classic Spanish proverb recorded across the Spanish-speaking world for centuries. It functions similarly to the English expression forewarned is forearmed, originating in popular oral tradition rather than a single written text.

People often hang this print in a home office or hallway as a daily reminder to plan ahead carefully.
