Famous quotes containing the words high and/or risk:
“What generous beliefs console
The brave whom Fate denies the goal!
If others reach it, is content:
To Heavens high will his will is bent.
Firm on his heart relied,
What lot soeer betide,
Work of his hand
He nor repents nor grieves,
Pleads for itself the fact,
As unrepenting Nature leaves
Her every act.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (18031882)
“Do you want me to tell you something really subversive? Love is everything its cracked up to be. Thats why people are so cynical about it.... It really is worth fighting for, being brave for, risking everything for. And the trouble is, if you dont risk anything, you risk even more.”
—Erica Jong (b. 1942)
