Dylan McDermott Quotes

If man is not ready to risk his life, where is his dignity?

It requires bravery to do something no one else around you is doing.

I'll take any risk there is.

I have a great deal of respect and admiration for people who put themselves on the line.

You can't make accommodations in crucial situations and be heroic.

I mean, I'm not going to play the hero of something.

Daring is not safe against daring men.

I tend to think you're fearless when you recognize why you should be scared of things, but do them anyway.

The paradox of courage is that a man must be a little careless of his life even in order to keep it.

Against the bold, daring is unsafe.

I tend to do things that I'm very frightened of. That's what I do.

Heroism often results as a response to extreme events.

… there is no more exhilarating experience than to determine one's position, state it bravely and then act boldly

There is always safety in valor.

The boring, safe choices never stand out. Take risks!

I'm not afraid to take big shots. I'm not afraid to take any type of shots.

I'd rather go down with an almighty bang than play it safe.

I don't think safe is the way if you want to make history.

I like taking risks with things.

But heroes, at times, had to be fools.

It is true that I must run a great risk; no gallant action was ever accomplished without danger.

To Dare is to risk losing your foothold for a moment, Not to Dare is to risk losing yourself.

... all things are possible if you are willing to put yourself on the line. You cannot stand back and hope for the best. You have to act.

COURAGE isn't an absence of fear. It is doing what you are afraid to do, letting go of the familiar and forging ahead into new territory. What I have discovered is that the best leaders have the courage to act - are willing to take the risk, make the statement, point the way, lead the way - when others hesitate out of fear. Effective leadership requires the ability to stand up, stand out, and the conviction to do it. I have never known a successful leader that was not courageous.
