Alan Alda
Laugh at yourself, but don't ever aim your doubt at yourself. Be bold. When you embark for strange places, don't leave any of yourself safely on shore. Have the nerve to go into unexplored territory.
Aleksander Solzhenitsyn
If one is forever cautious, can one remain a human being?
Alice M. Swaim

If you're not living on the edge, you're taking up too much space.
Anonymous Chicago teacher
To laugh is to risk appearing the fool.To weep is to risk appearing sentimental.To reach for another is to risk involvement.To expose your feelings is to risk exposing your true self.To place your ideas, your dreams before a crowd is to risk their loss.To love is to risk not being loved in return.To live is to risk dying.To believe is to risk despair.To try is to risk failure.But risks must be taken, because the greatest hazard in life is to risk nothing.The person who risks nothing does nothing, has nothing, is nothing.They may avoid suffering an d sorrow, but they cannot learn, feel, change, grow, love, live.Chained by their attitudes they are slaves; they have forfeited their freedom.Only a person who risks is free.
Augustus and Julius Hare

You've got to take the initiative and play your game...confidence makes the difference.

When in doubt, make a fool of yourself. There is a microscopically thin line between being brilliantly creative and acting like the most gigantic idiot on earth. So what the hell, leap.
