Risk Quotes

Every day, you'll have opportunities to take chances and to work outside your safety net. Sure, it's a lot easier to stay in your comfort zone.. in my case, business suits and real estate.. but sometimes you have to take risks. When the risks pay off, that's when you reap the biggest rewards.
-- Risk Quotes by Donald Trump

The reality is that I need to be challenged and interested, as long as the risk and reward is in line.
-- Risk Quotes by Sam Zell

In my case, if one out of five opportunities is interesting enough to work on, maybe one in five of those ends up being worth doing. That might be a function of risk. That might be a function of price. There are all the variables. But you have to be constantly sorting and choosing and prioritizing.
-- Risk Quotes by Sam Zell

Well, when you're trying to create things that are new, you have to be prepared to be on the edge of risk.
-- Risk Quotes by Michael Eisner

A revolution in humanity’s use of fossil fuel-based energy would be necessary sooner or later to sustain and to extend modern standards of living. It will be required sooner if we are to hold the risks of climate change to acceptable levels. The costs that we bear in making an early adjustment will bring forward, and reduce for future times, the costs of the inevitable eventual adjustment away from fossil fuels.
-- Risk Quotes by Ross Garnaut

Great talents are the most lovely and often the most dangerous fruits on the tree of humanity. They hang upon the most slender twigs that are easily snapped off.
-- Risk Quotes by Carl Jung

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.
-- Risk Quotes by Helen Keller

There are risks and costs to a program of action. But they are far less than the long-range risks and costs of comfortable inaction.
-- Risk Quotes by John F. Kennedy

The Chinese use two brush strokes to write the word 'crisis'. One brush stroke stands for danger; the other for opportunity. In a crisis, be aware of the danger-but recognize the opportunity.
-- Risk Quotes by John F. Kennedy

A man does what he must.. in spite of personal consequences, in spite of obstacles and dangers, and pressures.. and that is the basis of all human morality.
-- Risk Quotes by John F. Kennedy

Anything we do in advertising is controversial. If it’s provocative and sensual and related to what we’re selling, I'm willing to take the chance. I have fun with the ads.
-- Risk Quotes by Calvin Klein

A real entrepreneur is somebody who has no safety net underneath them.
-- Risk Quotes by Henry Kravis

Banks and other providers of credit to households have been competing vigorously to expand or protect their market share. In the process, lending standards have been progressively eroded so that lenders are now engaging in practices that would have been regarded as out of the question five or ten years ago.
-- Risk Quotes by Ian Macfarlane

When everyone feels that risks are at their minimum, over-confidence can take over and elementary precautions start to get watered down.
-- Risk Quotes by Ian Macfarlane

You had a lot of novice investors who got into the market looking for easy money, without any regard to the fundamentals. These stocks were running on fumes. (Madoff talking about the Internet bubble)
-- Risk Quotes by Bernard Madoff

Today, basically, on Wall Street, the big money is made by taking risks.
-- Risk Quotes by Bernard Madoff

Climate change poses clear, catastrophic threats. We may not agree on the extent, but we certainly can't afford the risk of inaction.
-- Risk Quotes by Rupert Murdoch

I have a million dollars in the stock market, because if I lose a million dollars, I don’t personally care.
-- Risk Quotes by Suze Orman

One doesn't accept bad challenges. Part of it is always the risk-taking without seeing that the risks are rational and the rewards are commensurate.. are more than commensurate.. with the risks.
-- Risk Quotes by Sumner Redstone

We all have to decide how we are going to fail.. by not going far enough or by going too far.
-- Risk Quotes by Sumner Redstone

In order to succeed, you have to live dangerously.. as long as the danger is rationally accepted and as long as the rewards far outweigh the risk.
-- Risk Quotes by Sumner Redstone

I've found that luck is quite predictable. If you want more luck, take more chances. Be more active. Show up more often.
-- Risk Quotes by Brian Tracy

Don't stretch yourself too much with a mortgage. Buy within your means.. it's not worth the sleepless nights.
-- Risk Quotes by Sarah Beeny

I kind of hate to be the voice of doom, but I just can't see how prices can't go down. I think people have actually forgotten that property prices can decrease. There's this feeling that they just won't fall, but, of course, that's not true.
-- Risk Quotes by Sarah Beeny

I learned to embrace risk, as long as it was well thought out and, in a worst-case scenario, I’d still land on my feet.
-- Risk Quotes by Eli Broad

I think that only daring speculation can lead us further and not accumulation of facts.
