"To laugh is to risk appearing the fool
To weep is to risk appearing sentimental
To reach out for another is to risk
involvement
To express feelings is to risk exposing your true
self
To place your ideas, your dreams before a crowd is to
risk their loss
To love is to risk not being loved in
return
To live is to risk dying
To hope is to risk despair
To try is to risk failure
But risks must be taken because the greatest hazard in
life is to risk nothing
The person who asks nothing, does nothing, has nothing
and is nothing
They may avoid suffering and sorrow, but they cannot
learn, feel, change , grow, love, live
Chained by their attitudes, they are a slave, they have
forfeited their freedom
Only a person who risks is free!"
