ADVENTURE

I am not an adventurer by choice but by fate.
Vincent Van Gogh

And yet a little tumult, now and then, is an agreeable quickener of sensation; such as a revolution, a battle, or an adventure of any lively description.
Lord Byron

The thirst for adventure is the vent which Destiny offers; a war, a crusade, a gold mine, a new country, speak to the imagination and offer swing and play to the confined powers.
Ralph Waldo Emerson

Man needs difficulties; they are necessary for health.
Carl Jung

An adventure is only an inconvenience rightly considered. An inconvenience is only an adventure wrongly considered.
Gilbert K. Chesterton

If we do not find anything very pleasant, at least we shall find something new.
Voltaire

The test of an adventure is that when you're in the middle of it, you say to yourself, ''Oh, now I've got myself into an awful mess; I wish I were sitting quietly at home.'' And the sign that something's wrong with you is when you sit quietly at home wish
Thornton Wilder

If we didn't live adventurously, plucking the wild goat by the beard, and trembling over precipices, we should never be depressed, I've no doubt; but already should be faded, fatalistic and aged.
Virginia Woolf

Adventure is not outside man; it is within.
David Grayson

A large volume of adventures may be grasped within this little span of life, by him who interests his heart in everything.
Laurence Sterne

You can't cross the sea merely by standing and staring at the water. Don't let yourself indulge in vain wishes.
Rabindranath Tagore

Without adventure civilization is in full decay.
Alfred North Whitehead

Adventure is worthwhile.
Amelia Earhart
