During the first period of a man's life the greatest danger is not to take the risk.

One can advise comfortably from a safe port.

The greatest danger, that of losing one's own self, may pass off quietly as if it were nothing; every other loss, that of an arm, a leg, five dollars, a wife, etc., is sure to be noticed.

Life must be understood backwards. But it must be lived forward.

If you don't risk anything, you risk even more.
