RISK
Author unknown
To laugh is to risk appearing the fool
To weep is to risk appearing sentimental
To reach out to others is to risk involvement
To expose feelings is to risk exposing your true self
To place your ideas, your dreams before a crowd is to risk their loss
To love is to risk not being loved in return
To live is to risk dying
To hope is to risk despair
To try is to risk failure
But risks must be taken,
because the greatest hazard in life is to do nothing.
The person who risks nothing,
does nothing, has nothing, and is nothing.
They may avoid suffering and sorrow,
but they cannot learn, feel, change, grow, love, live.
Chained by their attitudes, they are a slave,
they forfeited their freedom.
Only the person who risks can be free |

That's a good quote. Similar in a way to one of my favorites.
"I will not fear. Fear is the mindkiller. Fear is the little death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will allow it to pass over and through me. And when it has passed I will my inner eye to see it's path. When the fear is gone, there will be nothing. Only I will remain". -Frank Herbert, Dune |

| False Evidence Appearing Real. Fear is simply that, and risks are necessary. Thanks, Marlowe. |
