“If a man isn't willing to take some risk for his opinions, either his opinions are no good or he's no good”
Ezra Pound
“The person who risks nothing, does nothing, has nothing, is nothing, and becomes nothing. He may avoid suffering and sorrow, but he simply cannot learn and feel and change and grow and love and live.”
Leo F. Buscaglia
“Only those who will risk going too far can possibly find out how far one can go.”
T.S. Eliot
“Man cannot discover new oceans unless he has the courage to lose sight of the shore.”
Andre Gide
“Often the difference between a successful person and a failure is not one has better abilities or ideas, but the courage that one has to bet on one's ideas, to take a calculated risk - and to act.”
Andre Malraux
“Risk! Risk anything! Care no more for the opinions of others, for those voices. Do the hardest thing on earth for you. Act for yourself. Face the truth.”
Katherine Mansfield
“He who risks and fails can be forgiven. He who never risks and never fails is a failure in his whole being.”
