Spanish term or phrase: "amanecerá y veremos, dijo el ciego"

Existe una expresión más o menos equivalente a esta en el idioma inglés?

Hay una expresión original que dice "amanecerá y veremos" pero al agregarle, "dijo el ciego" implica cierto escepticismo respecto a una situación a futuro.

Mil gracias

Gracias Daniel, no sabía que era tan literal. La realidad es que tu respuesta refleja un poco más mi requerimiento pues no es lo mismo "amanecerá y veremos" (expectativa) que "amanecerá y veremos, dijo el ciego" (escepticismo)
Gracias también a tí Robert por tu aporte.
