We took risks. We knew we took them. Things have come out against us. We have no cause for complaint.

To Take Risk Is My "Illusion" To Come Over It, Is My "Obsession".

If you risk nothing, then you risk everything

Yes, risk taking is inherently failure-prone. Otherwise, it would be called sure-thing-taking.

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

The person who risks nothing, does nothing, has nothing, is nothing, and becomes nothing. He may avoid suffering and sorrow, but he simply cannot learn and feel and change and grow and love and live.
