<P>To laugh is to risk appearing the fool.
<BR />To weep is to risk appearing sentimental.
<BR />To reach out to others is to risk involvement.
<BR />To expose feelings is to risk exposing your true self.
<BR />To place your ideas, your dreams before a crowd is to risk their loss.
<BR />To love is to risk not being loved in return.
<BR />To live is to risk dying.
<BR />To hope is to risk despair.
<BR />To try is to risk failure.
</P><P>But risks must be taken,
<BR />because the greatest hazard in life is to do nothing.
</P><P>The person who risks nothing,
<BR />does nothing, has nothing, and is nothing.
</P><P>They may avoid suffering and sorrow,
<BR />but they cannot learn, feel, change, grow, love, live.
</P><P>Chained by their attitudes, they are a slave,
<BR />they forfeited their freedom.
</P><P>Only the person who risks can be free</P></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/7C83DED3-1A14-42E2-81EE-EFCE5A16B999/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content6.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
