Best Quotes about Risk

The willingness to take risks is our grasp of faith.

Woodberry, George E.

It is true that when we take chances, we stand to lose. But it is also true that we will never win anything if we never even enter the game.

By being willing to accept small losses, they put themselves in position to make large gains.
