最高を期待するが最悪を想定する

Could someone do a check for me...
It suppose to mean "Asuming the worst, hoping for the best" or something close to that...
What im looking for is a simple translation for "Hope for the best, but expect the worst" Its like a life motto for me.
By that i mean this "I hope the best scenario because I'm not a pessimist.
Yet I always think about the worst scenario just in case, and try to prepare for it, because I'm a thoughtful man"

Please help!
