“Pitiful is the person who is afraid of taking risks. Perhaps this person will never be disappointed or disillusioned; perhaps she won't suffer the way people do when they have a dream to follow. But when the person looks back-she will hear her heart”
Paulo Coelho

“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

Andre Malraux
“Man cannot discover new oceans unless he has the courage to lose sight of the shore.”
Andre Gide
“He who risks and fails can be forgiven. He who never risks and never fails is a failure in his whole being.”

Seneca
