A life lesson for me is how do you muster the courage to take on a new risk? Whether it's starting up a business or taking on a new project or expedition. I think the risks that we take are all relative to the risk-taker.

Heroes to me are guys that sit in libraries. They absorb knowledge and then the risks they take are calculated on the basis of the courage it took to become replete with knowledge.

I've always been inspired by artists who have shown musical and intellectual curiosity and the courage to take risks.

Determination energy and courage appear spontaneously when we care deeply about something. We take risks that are unimaginable in any other context.

He who is not courageous enough to take risks will accomplish nothing in life.

Ever since the collapse of cap and trade legislation and the realization that President Obama is unlikely to ever utter the words 'climate change' in public again much less use the bully pulpit to prepare the nation for the catastrophic risks of inaction the movement has been in a funk.

Every business and every product has risks. You can't get around it.

Prophesy is a good line of business but it is full of risks.

It is finally a word is untimely in three different senses and bearing it as one's treasure will not win one anyone's favours one rather risks finding oneself outside everyone's camp... Beauty is the word that shall be our first.

I think for business reasons fiscal reasons I think these cable networks can take greater risks and I think with a risk comes better programming. And I think USA has got an amazing identity to it now that is clearly defined with its 'Characters welcome' tag.

No one else can take risks for us or face our losses on our behalf or give us self-esteem. No one can spare us from life's slings and arrows and when death comes we meet it alone.
