“If you take a risk, two things will happen. People will laugh at you, or you'll be way ahead of everyone else. ”

“You have to believe there are kisses and laughs and risks worth taking.”

“If you don't take risks in life, you'll never see anything new.”

“Of course, people will laugh at you, but people laugh at a great many things so there is no need to take it personally.”

“No, this is how it works —
You peer inside yourself
You take the things you like
And try to love the things you took
And then you take that love you made
And stick it into some
Someone else's heart
Pumping someone else's blood
And walking arm in arm
You hope it don't get harmed
But even if it does
You'll just do it all again.”

“Out there things can happen, and frequently do,
To people as brainy and footsy as you.
And when things start to happen, don't worry, don't stew.
Just go right along, you'll start happening too!”

“Surround yourself with people who make you happy. People who make you laugh, who help you when you’re in need. People who genuinely care. They are the ones worth keeping in your life. Everyone else is just passing through”

“People who don't take risks generally make about two big mistakes a year. People who do take risks generally make about two big mistakes a year.”

“When you have come to the edge of all the light you have
And step into the darkness of the unknown
Believe that one of the two will happen to you
Either you'll find something solid to stand on
Or you'll be taught how to fly!”

“Everyone is a comedy. If people are laughing at you, they just don't quite understand the joke that is themselves.”
