We make our own fortunes, and call them fate.

Be the master of your fate, be the captain of your soul, but do not hesitate, should the chance befall you, to be the slave of your heart.

You paid some way for everything that was any good. I paid my way into enough things that I liked, so that I had a good time. Either you paid by learning about them, or by experience, or by taking chances, or by money. Enjoying living was learning to get your money's worth. The world was a good place to buy in. It seemed like a fine philosophy. In five years, I though, it will seem just as silly as all the other fine philosophies I've had.

An unwillingness to accept risk has swamped more leaders than anything I can think of.

If you don't take risks, you'll have a wasted soul.

I've found that nothing in life is worthwhile unless you take risks.

Do you want to be safe and good, or do you want to take a chance and be great?

If you aim to leave Las Vegas with a small fortune, go there with a large one.

People refuse to take chances in business, because they fear the criticism which may follow if they fail. The fear of criticism, in such cases is stronger than the DESIRE for success.

But then you like to tempt fate, don't you? Don't worry, it will all work out

If you have a lane, you have a chance.

I've heard that hard work never killed anyone, but I say why take the chance?
