Risk more than others think safe.
Risks are a measure of people. People who don't take them are trying to preserve what they have. Some risks have a future, and some people call them wrong. But being right may be like walking backwards, proving where you've been.
In my judgment, the greatest risks are international terrorist groups like al Qaeda and Hezbollah. The war in Iraq has taken our attention off those priorities.
We live in a world where there are many risks, and it's high time we start taking seriously which ones we should be worried about.

To be alive at all involves some risk.
Life is a risk.
Life is inherently risky. There is only one big risk you should avoid at all costs, and that is the risk of doing nothing.
Accept that all of us can be hurt, that all of us can and surely will at times fail. Other vulnerabilities, like being embarrassed or risking love, can be terrifying, too. I think we should follow a simple rule: if we can take the worst, take the risk.
