“When Men fly from danger, it is natural for them to run farther than they need.”
“Security is mostly a superstition. It does not exist in nature, nor do the children of men as a whole experience it. Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than outright exposure. Life is either a daring adventure, or nothing.”
“Men need play & danger. Civilization gives them work and safety.”
“men are undoubtedly more in danger from prosperity than from adversity. for when matters go smoothly, they flatter themselves, and are intoxicated by their success”
“Some girls need men to take them places. Others just click their heels, spread their own wings, and fly.”
“But try as you might to protect people from danger, you cannot keep them from their true nature.”
