What would you attempt
if you knew you could not fail?

Laughing is to risk appearing the fool.
Weeping is to risk appearing sentimental.
Reaching out to another is to risk involvement.
Expressing your feelings is to risk exposing your true self.
Loving is to risk not being loved in return.
Living is to risk dying.
Hoping is to risk despair.
Trying is to risk failure.
Life's greatest hazard is to risk nothing!

When you risk nothing,
you do nothing,
have nothing,
& are nothing.
You may temporarily avoid suffering and sorrow
But you can't feel, change, grow, learn, love or live.

Chained by your certitudes you are a slave,
You have forfeited your freedom.

Only a person who risks is free!

Never lose an opportunity of seeing
anything that is beautiful
for beauty is God's handwriting
a wayside sacrament.
Welcome it in every fair face,
in every fair sky, in every flower,
and thank God for it
is a cup of blessing.
~ Ralph Waldo Emerson ~

You can never do a kindness too soon,
because you never know how soon it will be too late.

You are never be too old to hold your father's hand or sit on his lap.

A friend is someone who thinks you're a good egg
even though you are slightly cracked!

~ If this thought has made you think of someone truly special in your life,
pause now to send them a special note from one of the

links
I've collected. Saying, "I Love You" or "You are Special, My Friend"
takes so little time
~ and means so much to the recipient ~
