Risk Quotes

So many of the models of courage we’ve had, ones that are still taught to boys and girls, are about going out to slay the dragon, to kill. It’s a courage that’s born out of fear, anger, and hate. But there’s this other kind of courage. It’s the courage to risk your life, not in war, not in battle, not out of fear... but out of love and a sense of injustice that has to be challenged. It takes far more courage to challenge unjust authority without violence than it takes to kill all the monsters in all the stories told to children about the meaning of bravery Picture Quote #1

I want to love someone so selflessly that he would never even think about going away. I suppose that’s what most people want. In fact, that’s probably why we don’t kill one another all the time. Everyone’s just a little too lonely to risk it Picture Quote #1

A warming of this magnitude would risk the end of civilization as we know it by the end of this century Picture Quote #1

I want to risk hitting my head on the ceiling of my talent. I want to really test it out and say: O.K., you’re not that good. You just reached the level here. I don’t ever want to fail, but I want to risk failure every time out of the gate Picture Quote #1

The arts can open the door to the imagination, pushing the envelope of how peace can be created. It takes courage to take this kind of risk, and courage is what we all need to create a better world Picture Quote #1

For a man’s counsel cannot have equal weight or worth, when he alone has no children to risk in the general danger Picture Quote #1

Regardless of the number of precautions that we take to save our necks, part of the attraction of going out on the water in the first place is the element of risk Picture Quote #1

After I lost my fiance, it seemed like it would be better to always be alone than to risk being hurt again Picture Quote #1

The real risk is notchanging. I have to feel that I’m after something. If I make money, fine. ButI’d rather be striving. It’s the striving, man, it’s that I want Picture Quote #1

So my message is in whichever realm, be it going into space or going into the deep sea, you have to balance the yin and yang of caution and boldness, risk aversion and risk taking, fear and fearlessness. No great accomplishment takes place, whether it be a movie or a deep ocean expedition, or a space mission, without a kind of dynamic equipoise between the two. Luck is not a factor. Hope is not a strategy. Fear is not an option Picture Quote #1

In those who rest on their unshakable faith, pharisaism and fanaticism are the unmistakable symptoms of doubt which has been repressed. Doubt is not overcome by repression but by courage. Courage does not deny that there is doubt, but it takes the doubt into itself as an expression of its own finitude and affirms the content of an ultimate concern. Courage does not need the safety of an unquestionable conviction. It includes the risk without which no creative life is possible Picture Quote #1

When a clandestine couple kisses, it is much more likely that sex will immediately follow. This is because there is much more risk. Once you have kissed secretly, it is very difficult not to have sex. It would be impolite not to have sex. You have to show that you are serious about each other Picture Quote #1

Every conscious act requires risk. Every conscious act requires decision. Put these two facts together and you realize that the secret to life is not to avoid gambling but to gamble well Picture Quote #1

Don’t ask me to write a check for you when you think your job is at risk and then don’t pay any attention to me when my job is at stake Picture Quote #1

The way I see it, gold is headed over $1000 an ounce, probably much higher. At anywhere near current prices, it’s the lowest risk, highest potential investment I can think of Picture Quote #1

A risk is a chance you take; if it fails you can recover. A gamble is a chance taken; if it fails, recovery is impossible Picture Quote #1

If you don’t invest in risk management, it doesn’t matter what business you’re in, it’s a risky business Picture Quote #1

My client loved risk. Risk, I had learned, was a commodity in itself. Risk could be canned and sold like tomatoes Picture Quote #1

We gauge risk literally hundreds of times per day, usually well and often subconsciously. We start assessing risk before the disaster even happens. We are doing is right now. We decide where to live and what kind of insurance to buy, just like we process all kinds of everyday risks: we wear bike helmets, or not. We buckle our seatbelts, smoke cigarettes, and let our kids stay out until midnight. Or not Picture Quote #1

Going after anything worthwile in life entailed risk, of course. A man of ambition and courage didn’t let that stop or delay him. A man accepted the dangers, the element of chance. If he didn’t, he won nothing Picture Quote #1

It is an occupational risk of biologists to claim, towards the end of their careers, that the problems which they have not solved are insoluble Picture Quote #1

In order to succeed, you have to live dangerously.. as long as the danger is rationally accepted and as long as the rewards far outweigh the risk Picture Quote #1

Our everyday, traditional ideas of reality are delusions which we spend substantial parts of our daily lives shoring up, even at the considerable risk of trying to force facts to fit our definition of reality instead of vice versa. And the most dangerous delusion of all is that there is only one reality Picture Quote #1

Consider that spiritual safety comes through spiritual unity. Christians united together are difficult to separate, difficult to break, difficult to pick off and destroy. It is when you isolate yourself by disrupting or denying unity that you are most at risk Picture Quote #1

The first time I had sex, I was scared I got the girl pregnant. And that was despite the fact we were safe. Luckily, we were fine. I would never risk not wearing a condom, it’s too much of a risk. If you’re not ready for a child, then don’t risk it Picture Quote #1

What should we think of someone who never admits error, never entertains doubt but adheres unflinchingly to the same ideas all his life, regardless of new evidence? Doubt and skepticism are signs of rationality. When we are too certain of our opinions, we run the risk of ignoring any evidence that conflicts with our views. It is doubt that shows we are still thinking, still willing to reexamine hardened beliefs when confronted with new facts and new evidence Picture Quote #1

It will take a massive effort to move society from corporate domination, in which industry’s rights to pollute and damage health and the environment supersede the public’s right to live, work, and play in safety. This is a political fight. The science is already there, showing that people’s health is at risk. To win, we will need to keep building the movement, networking with one another, planning, strategizing, and moving forward. Our children’s futures, and those of their unborn children, are at stake Picture Quote #1

What if a small group of these world leaders were to conclude the principal risk to the earth comes from the actions of the rich countries? In order to save the planet, the group decides: Isn’t the only hope for the planet that the industrialized civilizations collapse? Isn’t it our responsibility to bring this about? Picture Quote #1
