  • And the day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom.

    Anais Nin (1903 - 1977)

    I guess what I'm trying to say is, I don't think you can measure life in terms of years. I think longevity1 doesn't necessarily have anything to do with happiness. I mean happiness comes from facing challenges and going out on a limb and taking risks. If you're not willing to take a risk for something you really care about, you might as well be dead.

    Diane Frolov and Andrew Schneider, Northern Exposure, Northern Lights, 1993

    Life is a risk.

    Diane Von Furstenberg

    If you don't risk anything you risk even more.

    Erica Jong

    Take calculated risks. That is quite different from being rash.

    George S. Patton (1885 - 1945)

    First weigh the considerations, then take the risks.

    Helmuth von Moltke (1800 - 1891)

    Great deeds are usually wrought2 at great risks.

    Herodotus (484 BC - 430 BC), The Histories of Herodotus

    The policy of being too cautious is the greatest risk of all.

    Jawaharlal Nehru (1889 - 1964)

    What you risk reveals what you value.

    Jeanette Winterson

    Be wary3 of the man who urges an action in which he himself incurs4 no risk.

    Joaquin Setanti

    There are risks and costs to a program of action. But they are far less than the long-range risks and costs of comfortable inaction.

    John F. Kennedy (1917 - 1963)

    If you're never scared or embarrassed or hurt, it means you never take any chances.

    Julia Sorel

    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 (1888 - 1923)

    I don't think about risks much. I just do what I want to do. If you gotta go, you gotta go.

    Lillian Carter

    In order for people to be happy, sometimes they have to take risks. It's true these risks can put them in danger of being hurt.

    Meg Cabot, The Boy Next Door, 2002

    It seems to me that people have vast potential. Most people can do extraordinary things if they have the confidence or take the risks. Yet most people don't. They sit in front of the telly and treat life as if it goes on forever.

    Philip Adams

    To win without risk is to triumph without glory.

    Pierre Corneille (1606 - 1684), 'The Cid,' 1636

    The universe will reward you for taking risks on its behalf.

    Shakti Gawain

    Our lives improve only when we take chances - and the first and most difficult risk we can take is to be honest with ourselves.

    Walter Anderson
