Famous quotes containing the words greater and/or risk:

“There is no human failure greater than to launch a profoundly important endeavour and then leave it half done. This is what the West has done with its colonial system.

—Barbara Ward (1914–1981)

“When a man leaves his mistress, he runs the risk of being betrayed two or three times daily.”
