One never dives into the water to save a drowning man more eagerly than when there are others present who dare not take the risk.

He should be praised for climbing; yetThe other man comes always from a heightAnd lives where praise can never get --Beyond your sight.

The devotion of the greatest is to encounter risk and danger, and play dice for death.

The man loves danger and sport. That is why he loves woman, the most dangerous of all sports.

He who is a firstling is ever sacrificed.

To become wise, one must "wish" to have certain experiences and run, as it were, into their gaping jaws. This, of course, is very dangerous; many a wise guy has been swallowed.
