The person who risks nothing, does nothing, has nothing, is nothing, and becomes nothing. He may avoid suffering and sorrow, but he simply cannot learn, feel, change, grow or love. Chained by his certitude, he is a slave; he has forfeited his freedom. Only the person who risks is truly free. | |
― Leo Buscaglia | |

The Greatest Hazard
Posted in Philosophy, Quotes, tagged Dr. Leo F. Buscaglia, Philosophy, Quotes, Risk on July 3, 2019| Leave a Comment »
To laugh is to risk appearing a fool. | |
To weep is to risk appearing sentimental. | |
To reach out to another is to risk involvement. | |
To expose feelings is to risk exposing your true self. | |
To place your ideas and dreams before a crowd is to risk their loss. | |
To love is to risk not being loved in return. | |
To hope is to risk pain. | |
To try is to risk failure. | |
But risks must be taken, because the greatest hazard in life is to risk nothing. | |
― Dr. Leo F. Buscaglia | |
