Famous quotes containing the words higher and/or risk:
“Thou shalt make thy house
The temple of a nation’s vows.
Spirits of a higher strain
Who sought thee once shall seek again.
I detected many a god
Forth already on the road,
Ancestors of beauty come
In thy breast to make a home.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“It’s a funny thing, the less people have to live for, the less nerve they have to risk losing—nothing.”
