“It is impossible to win the great prizes of life without running risks”
Theodore Roosevelt (1858–1919) American politician, 26th president of the United States
1910s, Theodore Roosevelt — An Autobiography (1913)
Context: It is impossible to win the great prizes of life without running risks, and the greatest of all prizes are those connected with the home. No father and mother can hope to escape sorrow and anxiety, and there are dreadful moments when death comes very near those we love, even if for the time being it passes by. But life is a great adventure, and the worst of all fears is the fear of living.
Ed Seykota (1946) American commodities trader
