A reasonable amount of caution is a valuable thing to have. However, don’t use it as an excuse to attempt little or nothing in life; life requires risk, as does love and all other things of worth.

*You can be knocked down many times by trouble and adversity, but you are never defeated as long as you keep getting back up.

Those who are quick to promise are generally slow to perform. They promise mountains, but perform molehills.

Spurgeon 1834-1892
