Summary
This quote highlights the inherent contradiction in the concept of a "sure thing." It suggests that although something may appear certain and guaranteed, there is always an element of uncertainty. "Sure things" can be subject to unexpected factors or unpredictable outcomes, and even the most seemingly secure situations can unravel. This quote underscores the idea that absolute certainty is an illusion and encourages a cautious mindset that acknowledges the potential for unexpected events.
