An aphorism from Robin Zimmermann that I've not been able to find anywhere on the 'Net:

... meaning, I suspect:

• procrastination is seductive and dangerous
• surprise (or at least showing up early) is worth more than full preparation
• you're probably more ready than you think you are

And perhaps it has several other interpretations, depending on the situation—that's what makes a good maxim, eh?
