To laugh is to risk appearing the fool
To weep is to
risk appearing sentimental
To reach out
is to risk your true self
To place your
ideas and dreams before the crowd
Is to risk
losing love
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 THE
GREATEST HAZARD IN LIFE IS TO RISK NOTHING
The one who
risks nothing
Does nothing
Has nothing
and finally is nothing
He may avoid
sufferings and sorrow,
But he simply
cannot dream, feel or change, feel or love
He has
forfeited freedom
THE ONE WHO
RISKS IS FREE
