Security is mostly a superstition. Life is either a daring adventure or nothing.
Better by far to risk being deceived than to forfeit all possibility of truth through morbid dread of error.
We must be willing to pay the price of admission to life, and that price is the risk of sorrow and disappointment.
He who is not courageous enough to take risks will accomplish nothing in life.
A person who never made a mistake never tried anything new.
Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose.
Those who dare to fail miserably can achieve greatly.
The foot that walks gathers thorns, but the foot that sits home in fear gathers only dust.
He who sits forever by the warm hearth hears no wolves, but he sees no new horizons.
To dare is to lose one's footing momentarily. Not to dare is to lose oneself.
Whenever a choice arises, choose the unknown, choose the risky, choose that which makes your heart beat faster.
Forget safety. Live where you fear to live. Destroy your reputation. Be notorious.
