Famous quotes containing the words risk and/or factors:

    We saw the risk we took in doing good,
    But dared not spare to do the best we could
    Though harm should come of it
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    I always knew I wanted to be somebody. I think that’s where it begins. People decide, “I want to be somebody. I want to make a contribution. I want to leave my mark here.” Then different factors contribute to how you will do that.
    Faith Ringgold (b. 1934)
