Decreased Risk

Famous quotes containing the words decreased and/or risk:

    In 1600 the specialization of games and pastimes did not extend beyond infancy; after the age of three or four it decreased and disappeared.

    Philippe Ariés (20th century)

    It’s a funny thing, the less people have to live for, the less nerve they have to risk losing—nothing.
