"Risk"
(Quote from Leo Buscalia)
"To laugh is to risk appearing the fool
To weep is to risk appearing sentimental
To reach out for another is to risk involvement
To expose feelings is to risk exposing your true self
To place your ideas, your dreams before the crowd is to risk
their loss
To love is to risk not being loved in return
To live is to risk dying
To hope is to risk despair
To try is to risk failure
But risks must be taken because the greatest hazard in life
is to risk
nothing.
The person who risks nothing, does nothing, has nothing and
is nothing.
They may avoid suffering and sorrow, but they cannot learn,
feel, change,
grow, love, live.
Chained by their certitudes, they are a slave, they have
forfeited their
freedom.
Only a person who risks is free."
" . . . men who have risked their
lives for the name of our Lord Jesus
Christ."
Acts 15:26 (NASB)
"Therefore receive him in the Lord
with all joy, and hold men like him in
high regard; because he came close to
death for the work of Christ, risking
his life to complete what was deficient
in your service to me."
Philippians 2:29-30 (NASB)
