“To love is to risk the pain of loss. But it’s a risk that’s worth taking.”

“The risk of love is loss and the price of loss is grief. But the pain of grief is only a shadow when compared with the pain of never risking love”

“It’s not that the risk isn’t worth the reward, it’s that the reward isn’t worth as much as another reward, which also has a lesser risk.”

“Love's scary, and sometimes it's transient. But it's worth the risks and the nerves. It's even worth the pain.”

“To laugh is to risk appearing a fool. To weep is to risk being called sentimental. 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 try is to risk failure. But risks must be taken. Because the greatest hazard in life is to risk nothing.”

“to love is to risk, not being loved in return. to hope is to risk pain. to try is to risk failure. but risk must be taken because the greatest hazard in my life is to risk nothing.”
