Venture Quotes - page 2

The sky calls to us. If we do not destroy ourselves, we will one day venture to the stars. (Carl Sagan)
still hope leads men to venture; and no one ever yet put himself in peril without the inward conviction that he would succeed in his design. View quote
Thucydides
Every start on an untrodden path is a venture which only in unusual circumstances looks sensible and likely to succeed. View quote
Albert Schweitzer
You will want a book which contains not man's thoughts, but God's - not a book that may amuse you, but a book that can save you - not even a book that can instruct you, but a book on which you can venture an eternity - not only a book which can give relief to your spirit, but redemption to your soul - a book which contains salvation, and conveys it to you, one which shall at once be the Saviour's book and the sinner's.

William Ernest Hocking
Entrepreneurs are risk takers, willing to roll the dice with their money or reputation on the line in support of an idea or enterprise. They willingly assume responsibility for the success or failure of a venture and are answerable for all its facets. View quote
Victor Kiam
You do not attain to knowledge by remaining on the shore and watching the foaming waves, you must make the venture and cast yourself in, you must swim, alert and with all your force, even if a moment comes when you think you are losing consciousness; in this way, and in no other, do you reach anthropological insight. View quote
Martin Buber
We should venture on the study of every kind of animal without distaste; for each and all will reveal to us something natural and something beautiful. View quote
Aristotle
Mathematicians may flatter themselves that they possess new ideas which mere human language is as yet unable to express. Let them make the effort to express these ideas in appropriate words without the aid of symbols, and if they succeed they will not only lay us laymen under a lasting obligation, but, we venture to say, they will find themselves very much enlightened during the process, and will even be doubtful whether the ideas as expressed in symbols had ever quite found their way out of the equations into their minds.

James Clerk Maxwell
I would venture to warn against too great intimacy with artists as it is very seductive and a little dangerous. View quote
Victoria of the United Kingdom
It is sometimes hard even for biologists to remember that sex is merely a genetic joint venture. (Matt Ridley)
But as the old confusion of tongues was laudable, when men who were of one language in wickedness and impiety, even as some now venture to be, were building the Tower; for by the confusion of their language the unity of their intention was broken up, and their undertaking destroyed; so much more worthy of praise is the present miraculous one. For being poured from One Spirit upon many men, it brings them again into harmony. And there is a diversity of Gifts, which stands in need of yet another Gift to discern which is the best, where all are praiseworthy. View quote
Gregory of Nazianzus

First of all, in terms of investment in Internet-related developments, venture capitalists - once burned - are now very cautious and are investing in areas that actually make business sense. View quote
Vint Cerf
Theories of genius are the peculiar constructions of our own philosophical times; ages of genius had passed away, and they left no other record than their works; no preconcerted theory described the workings of the imagination to be without imagination, nor did they venture to teach how to invent invention. View quote
Isaac D'Israeli
I think that every artistic venture is a risk, and it has to be that way, so you do as much preparation as you can and make that as thorough as you can possibly make it, until you turn up on set. It's about taking risks, and some might work and some might not, but that's what makes it interesting. View quote
Matt Smith
Every venture capitalist says at some point, 'I wish I could run this company myself' - to be the entrepreneur instead of the investor. View quote
Alan Patricof
With my new venture, Club Mom, we want to empower moms to feel their value and also build their collective power to make their lives better and easier. We want to bring them together as a community to share experiences and information. View quote

Charlotte Mary Yonge
Sitting at a candidate rally is similar to sitting in a ballyard. Both give you the opportunity to assess the technical metrics and reflect on the intangibles - what baseball calls 'make up' and politics calls 'character' - the leadership, talent and maturity to add value to a venture. View quote
Christine Pelosi
The need for some venture of faith still remains; one must stake one's life upon something. View quote
Henry Norris Russell
