Realistically, I was just told there's a German saying, their version of our "Better safe than sorry" -- "Better to worry now than be sorry later."
Which is almost the same as ours but specifying the WORRYING part is a little more neurotic than our slightly softened version (where does considering possib outcomes become worrying about those outcomes?). I prefer to worry.
