The wallet of the timid man neither increases nor decreases.

Enjoy yourself, for there is nothing in the world we can call our own.

You must kill the spider to get rid of the cobweb.

A kiss without a hug is like a flower without the fragrance.

To laugh is to risk appearing a fool.
To weep is to risk appearing sentimental.
To reach out to another is to risk involvement.
To expose feelings is to risk exposing your true self.
To place your ideas and dreams before a crowd is to risk their loss.
To love is to risk not being loved in return.
To hope is to risk pain.
To try is to risk failure.
But risks must be taken, because the greatest hazard in life is to risk nothing.

A timid person is frightened before danger, a coward during the time, and a courageous person afterwards.
