Everything you've ever wanted is on the other side of fear.

Gambling promises the poor what property performs for the rich--something for nothing.

He who forecasts all perils will never sail the sea.

We are very near to greatness: one step and we are safe; can we not take the leap?

Life is a romantic business, but you have to make the romance.

The only failure is not to try.

We are not trying to entertain the critics. I'll take my chances with the public.

Love gives us power, makes us risk everything we have, everything we are. Love is not for the weak. It's for the strong.

Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than outright exposure. The fearful are caught as often as the bold.

No guts, no glory.

The people ahead of you, living in the liberty of instinct-guided uniqueness, will welcome you, encourage you, and mentor you. They will inspire you to be a pioneer and not a poser. Only those incarcerated by their unwillingness to listen to their instincts and to take the risks required for success will seek to deter you.

My greatest fear is not living before I die, to play everything so safe that even though I had no risk I also enjoyed no reward.
