Risk: no full life occurs without it.

About This Quote

This quote is a play on words that equates life to a full life. The idea is that you have no real meaning to the world without risk. Without risk, there is no real challenge and thus no reason to get up and strive for something better. Without risk, there is no purpose to your existence. In other words, without risk there is no adventure or adventure is not worth doing.
