“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 quotes(American guru, tireless advocate of the power of love, 1924-1998)

“Man cannot discover new oceans unless he has the courage to lose sight of the shore.”

Andre Gide quotes (French writer, humanist and moralist, 1947 Nobel prize for literature, 1869–1951)

“Often the difference between a successful person and a failure is not one has better abilities or ideas, but the courage that one has to bet on one’s ideas, to take a calculated risk – and to act.”

Andre Malraux quotes (FrenchHistorian, Novelist and Statesman, 1901–1976)

“He who risks and fails can be forgiven. He who never risks and never fails is a failure in his whole being.”

Paul Tillich quotes (German born AmericanTheologian and Philosopher, whose discussions of God and faith illuminated and bound together the realms of traditional Christianity and modern culture. 1886–1965)

“Only those who will risk going too far can possibly find out how far one can go.”

T.S. Eliot quotes (American born English Editor, Playwright, Poet and Critic, 1888–1965)
