    I wouldn’t take anything for granite.

    I’m optimistic but trying to be ready for the worst, because the worst happens way too often these days.

      I would feel very igneous if I took things for granite all the time

      “Take for granted” is the expression, granted being something that does not need to be proved, to the extent it is a point given freely in a discussion or debate.

      That’s not a very gneiss thing to say.
