~ A lot of successful people are risk-takers. Unless you're willing to do thatÖ to have a go, fail miserably, and have another go, success won't happen. ~ ~ And the trouble is, if you don't risk anything, you risk even more. ~ ~ Change and growth take place when a person has risked himself and dares to become involved with experimenting with his own life. ~ ~ Often the difference between a successful man and a failure is not one's better abilities or ideas but the courage that one has to bet on his ideas, to take a calculated risk -- and act.
~ ~ I want to work with the top people, because only they have the courage and the confidence and the risk-seeking profile that you need. ~ ~ An entrepreneur assumes the risk and is dedicated and committed to the success of whatever he or she undertakes. ~ ~ To win without risk is to triumph without glory. ~ ~ All trust involves vulnerability and risk, and nothing would count as trust if there were no possibility of betrayal. ~ ~ Risk is what separates the good part of life from the tedium. ~ ~ Risk! Risk anything! Care no more for the opinion of others, for those voices. Do the hardest thing on earth for you. Act for yourself. Face the truth. ~ ~ There are costs and risks to a program of action, but they are far less than the long range risks and costs of comfortable inaction
. ~ ~ What is life, but one long risk? ~ ~ Risk! Risk anything! Care no more for the opinion of others, for those voices. Do the hardest thing on earth for you. Act for yourself. Face the truth. ~ ~ Remember that great love and great achievements involve great risk. ~ ~ The problem with writing about religion is that you run the risk of offending sincerely religious people, and then they come after you with machetes. ~ ~ Prophesy is a good line of business, but it is full of risks. ~ ~ Often the difference between a successful man and a failure is not one's better abilities or ideas, but the courage that one has to bet on his ideas, to take a calculated risk, and to act. ~ ~ The common dogma is fear of modern knowledge, inability to cope with the fast change in a scientific-technological society, and the real breakdown in apparent moral order in recent years.... That is why hate is the major fuel, fear is the cement of the movement, and superstitious ignorance is the best defence against the dangerous new knowledge. ... When you bring up arguments that cast serious doubts on their cherished beliefs you are not simply making a rhetorical point, you are threatening their whole Universe and their immortality. That provokes anger and quite frequently violence. ... Unfortunately you cannot reason with them and you even risk violence in confronting them. Their numbers will decline only when society stabilizes, and adapts to modernity ~ ~ Security is not the meaning of my life. Great opportunities are worth the risks. ~ ~ Our government has become too responsive to trivial or ephemeral concerns, often at the expense of more important concerns or an erosion of our liberty, and it has made policy priorities more dependent on where TV journalists happen to point their cameras.... As a nation we have lost our sense of tragedy, a recognition that bad things happen to good people. A nation that expects the government to prevent churches from burning, to control the price of bread or gasoline, to secure every job, and to find some villain for every dramatic accident, risks an even larger loss of life and liberty. ~ ~ The happiest thing that can be said about democracy... is that it is one of the few systems that has been willing to risk a long period of confusion and mixed purposes for the sake of giving man a chance to grow up in mind and responsibility ~ ~ I've always taken risks, and never worried what the world might really think of me ~ ~ In battle it is the cowards who run the most risk; bravery is a rampart of defense. ~ ~ To win without risk is to triumph without glory. ~ ~ To get profit without risk, experience without danger, and reward without work, is as impossible as it is to live without being born. ~ ~ Only those who will risk going too far can possibly find out how far one can go. ~ ~ Friendship marks a life even more deeply than love. Love risks degenerating into obsession, friendship is never anything but sharing.
~ ~ Decision is a risk rooted in the courage of being free. ~ ~ Time is a brisk wind, for each hour it brings something new... but who can understand and measure its sharp breath, its mystery and its design? ~ ~ A man's age is something impressive, it sums up his life: maturity reached slowly and against many obstacles, illnesses cured, griefs and despairs overcome, and unconscious risks taken; maturity formed through so many desires, hopes, regrets, forgotten things, loves. A man's age represents a fine cargo of experiences and memories. ~ |
