Certainty

Certainty is the father of right and mother of justice.Pope.

He that leaves certainty and trusts to chance,
When fools pipe he may dance.

I will not change a cottage in possession for a kingdom in reversion.

Nothing is certain in this world but death and taxes.

Nothing is certain in this world; the wheel of fortune is forever in motion.Petrarch.

Quit not certainty for hope.
