“Between safety and adventure I choose adventure.”

“Facing the difficulties, I can choose either to be a poor victim or a great adventurer.”

“The power of God is the worship He inspires…. The worship of God is not a rule of safety — it is an adventure of the spirit, a flight after the unattainable. The death of religion comes with the repression of the high hope of adventure.”

“Life is security and daring,/ Life is protection and risk,/ Life is openness and closure,/ It is safety and adventure.”

“As he mused about these things, he realised that he had to choose between thinking of himself as the poor victim of a thief and as an adventurer in quest of his treasure.”

“Have your adventures, make your mistakes, and choose your friends poorly -- all these make for great stories.”

“The overly cautious man will claim that his safety is more important than his accomplishments. While the adventurer will claim the opposite, because death does not scare him at all.”

“Do not stop thinking of life as an adventure. You have no security unless you can live bravely, excitingly, imaginatively; unless you can choose a challenge instead of competence.”

“Be careful of my guest — his safety is most precious to me. Should aught happen to him, or if he be missed, spare nothing to find him and ensure his safety. He is English and therefore adventurous. There are often dangers from snow and wolves and night. Lose not a moment if you suspect harm to him. I answer your zeal with my fortune.”

“You can't choose between evil and evil, in the dark, by logic. You can only cling to some safety line of principle.”
