"To laugh…[more]is to risk appearing the fool.
To weep…is to risk appearing sentimental.
To reach out for another…is to risk involvement.
To expose feelings…is to risk exposing our true self.
To place our ideas, our dreams before the crowd…are to risk loss.
To love…is to risk not being loved in return.
To hope…is to risk despair.
To try at all…is to risk failure.
However, to risk we must
Because the greatest hazard in life is to risk nothing.
The man, the woman, who risks nothing…does nothing, has nothing,
is nothing."
