Risk

4 remarks on record

Better safe than sorry.
A precaution taken unnecessarily is preferable to a precaution not taken at all.
He who hesitates is lost.
Delay in the face of opportunity is itself a decision, and frequently the losing one.
Look before you leap.
Consider the consequences before committing to an irreversible action.
Nothing ventured, nothing gained.
No reward is available to those unwilling to accept risk.
