Get it down. Take chances. It may be bad, but it's the only way you can do anything good.

You have to make the good out of the bad because that is all you have got to make it out of.

I'd decided to take the risk, and either I'd succeed or else.

You have to take opportunities and make an opportunity fit for you, rather than the other way around.

Give it a chance, try to make it happen. This is our greatest asset as a nation and one that we have to continue to encourage. You don't have to go broke, you don't have to bet everything on it, but you can start one day at a time by taking a chance and seeing if you too can build a great company.

Good or bad I propose to be something great!

Myself I must remake.

If I want to be the best, I have to take risks others would avoid, always optimizing the learning potential of the moment and turning adversity to my advantage.

If I ever get involved in basketball, I want to make something extraordinary.

I had to go outside. I had to let the element of chance in.

Any good that I may do, let me do it now, for I may not pass this way again.

To become original, you have to try something new, which means accepting some measure of risk.

I am trying like Klee, to create something that will have a life of its own, that can put me in real danger, a danger which I willingly take on myself.

When I want something to happen — or not happen — I begin to look at all events and all things as relevant, an opportunity to take or avoid. I found the opportunity.
