Risk Aversion Equal

Famous quotes containing the words risk, aversion and/or equal:

    Men’s hearts are cold. They are indifferent. Not all the coal that is dug warms the world. It remains indifferent to the lives of those who risk their life and health down in the blackness of the earth; who crawl through dark, choking crevices with only a bit of lamp on their caps to light their silent way; whose backs are bent with toil, whose very bones ache, whose happiness is sleep, and whose peace is death.
    Mother Jones (1830–1930)

    Our aversion to lying is commonly a secret ambition to make what we say considerable, and have every word received with a religious respect.
    François, Duc De La Rochefoucauld (1613–1680)

    In companions
    That do converse and waste the time together,
    Whose souls do bear an equal yoke of love,
    There must be needs a like proportion
    Of lineaments, of manners, and of spirit.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
