Adventure Quotations
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.
Helen Keller
Men of age object too much, consult too long, adventure too little, repent too soon, and seldom drive business home to the full period, but content themselves with a mediocrity of success.
Dale Carnegie
For an occurrence to become an adventure, it is necessary and sufficient for one to recount it.
Jean-Paul Sartre
The biggest adventure you can take is to live the life of your dreams.
Oprah Winfrey
Life is either a great adventure or nothing.
Helen Keller
The word 'romance,' according to the dictionary, means excitement, adventure, and something extremely real. Romance should last a lifetime.
Billy Graham
Adventure upon all the tickets in the lottery, and you lose for certain; and the greater the number of your tickets the nearer your approach to this certainty.
Adam Smith
Adventure is not outside man; it is within.
George Eliot
The big question is whether you are going to be able to say a hearty yes to your adventure.
Joseph Campbell
Adventure is worthwhile in itself.
Amelia Earhart
