Foresight (n.) blunts ⁠​‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​⁠misfortune: what strikes hardest is the blow that finds us off guard, while an attack seen coming hits with less force.

Foresight (n.) spares ⁠​‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​⁠the wise man not accidents but blunders: nothing happens against his expectation, and everything turns out as he thought, not as he wished.
