Caution Quotations
Distrust and caution are the parents of security.
Benjamin Franklin
Let us with caution indulge the supposition that morality can be maintained without religion. Reason and experience both forbid us to expect that national morality can prevail in exclusion of religious principle.
George Washington
The enlightened ruler is heedful, and the good general full of caution.
Sun Tzu
Every step of life shows much caution is required.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Caution is the confidential agent of selfishness.
Woodrow Wilson
The truth. It is a beautiful and terrible thing, and must therefore be treated with great caution.
J. K. Rowling
Of all forms of caution, caution in love is perhaps the most fatal to true happiness.
Bertrand Russell
Our errors are surely not such awfully solemn things. In a world where we are so certain to incur them in spite of all our caution, a certain lightness of heart seems healthier than this excessive nervousness on their behalf.
William James
Creative risk taking is essential to success in any goal where the stakes are high. Thoughtless risks are destructive, of course, but perhaps even more wasteful is thoughtless caution which prompts inaction and promotes failure to seize opportunity.
Gary Ryan Blair
Thoughtless risks are destructive, of course, but perhaps even more wasteful is thoughtless caution which prompts inaction and promotes failure to seize opportunity.
