DANGER QUOTES II

quotations about danger

Everything is dangerous, my dear fellow. If it wasn't so, life wouldn't be worth living.

OSCAR WILDE

The importance of Being Earnest


We hope all danger may be overcome; but to conclude that no danger may ever arise would itself be extremely dangerous.

ABRAHAM LINCOLN

address to the Young Men's Lyceum of Springfield, January 27, 1838


In a world full of danger, to be a potentially seeable object is to be constantly exposed to danger. Self-consciousness, then, may be the apprehensive awareness of oneself as potentially exposed to danger by the simple fact of being visible to others. The obvious defence against such a danger is to make oneself invisible in one way or another.

These are dangerous times
And if I take some chances
Put my heart on the line
What would you do to me
If I give myself up
To these circumstances
In these dangerous times
Would you keep me safely

That shuns the hives because the bees have stings.

And I feel with you at ease
Gimme danger, little stranger
And I'll feel your disease

IGGY & THE STOOGES

He who shares the danger ought to share the prize.

AESOP

"The Two Travellers and the Axe", Aesop's Fables


Our courage is greater to dare a visible than an imagined danger. A visible danger rouses our energies to meet or avert it; a fancied peril appalls from its presenting nothing to be resisted. Thus, a panic is, usually, a sudden going over to the enemy of our imagination. All is then lost, for we have not only to fight against that enemy, but our imagination as well.

CHRISTIAN NESTELL BOVEE
