DANGER

Byron, Geoge Gordon Noel
Danger levels man and brute, and all are fellows in their need.

Cicero, Marcus Tullius
We should never so entirely avoid danger as to appear irresolute and cowardly; but, at the same time, we should avoid unnecessarily exposing ourselves to danger, than which nothing can be more foolish.

Colton, Caleb C.
It is better to meet danger than to wait for it.—He that is on a lee shore, and foresees a hurricane, stands out to sea and encounters a storm to avoid a shipwreck.

Quarles, Francis
Let the fear of a danger be a spur to prevent it; he that fears not, gives advantage to the danger.

Richter, Jean Paul
A timid person is frightened before a danger; a coward during the time; and a courageous person afterward.

Smollett, Tobias
A man's opinion of danger varies at different times according to his animal spirits, and he is actuated by considerations which he dares not avow.
