If it’s not going to start a war… do it.
If the only risk you run is of looking foolish… do it.
If you’ve wanted to do it forever, but you never took the leap… do it.
In a life defined by its limited quantity of time, we have far more to lose erring on the side of caution than we do erring on the side of action.
All courses of action are risky, so prudence is not in avoiding danger… Develop the strength to do bold things, not the strength to suffer.
The Prince by Niccolò Machiavelli (1469 – 1527)
