Greater Risk

Famous quotes containing the words greater and/or risk:

“I did not know that thou wert dead before;
I did not feel the grief I did sustain;
The greater stroke astonisheth the more;
Astonishment takes from us sense of pain.
I stood amazed when other’s tears begun,
And now begin to weep when they have done.”
—Henry Constable (1562–1613)

“We saw the risk we took in doing good,
But dared not spare to do the best we could
Though harm should come of it”
