Ogden Nash Quotes

I want to try new things and put myself out there and take some risks.

Be willing to step outside your comfort zone once in a while; take the risks in life that seem worth taking. The ride might not be as predictable if you'd just planted your feet and stayed put, but it will be a heck of a lot more interesting.

Sometimes doors open and other close and you have to figure out which one you're going to take. I'm always for the one that's challenging. That's where I think you live your life to the fullest.

I'm in the camp that needs to discover and take risks, sometimes it's with the promise of something special and new, sometimes it's to stay awake, either way it's much more stressful with all the uncertainty but worth the pain in the end.

Always trying new things is always more fun, and it can be scary, but it's always more fun in the end.

Without risk you can't experience life. There have to be risks, physically and mentally, taken by everyone.

I like feeling out of my depth.

It's only when you risk failure that you discover things. When you play it safe, you're not expressing the utmost of your human experience.

I always say, you know, if I sit here and close my eyes and say, 'When did I learn the most in my life, in my career?' It'll always be when I close them and everything I think of is when I took a risk. It's when I think I learned the most.

I love going out of my comfort zone - I live to go out of my comfort zone.

The spirit around leaving New York, for me, was that I just felt I needed to do something really outside of my comfort zone. And I really couldn't tell you at the time why I needed to do it. It wasn't like I was running from something dark; it was a desire to shake things up.

What draws me in is that a trip is a leap in the dark. It's like a metaphor for life. You set off from home, and in the classic travel book, you go to an unknown place. You discover a different world, and you discover yourself.

The most adventurous I've been was doing Raleigh International when I was 20.

You're not living if you don't go out and try things for yourself.

Adventure is worthwhile in itself.

I love when I am outside my comfort zone.

My motto in life is 'Take risks;' you don't have a voice if you don't. You have to venture outside your boundaries. That's what life's all about.

Just try new things. Don't be afraid. Step out of your comfort zones and soar, all right?

Life is an affirmation, not a defamation. Life means living. Life means taking that one tiny or giant leap beyond what you know you can do, or simply beyond what you know. It is in these moments that we live.

If you don't take risks in your life, you never feel something new, so I taste something new, and I like that.

You can't call it an adventure unless it's tinged with danger. The greatest danger in life, though, is not taking the adventure at all. To have the objective of a life of ease is death. I think we've all got to go after our own Everest.

Instead of trying to make your life perfect, give yourself the freedom to make it an adventure, and go ever upward.

Every day I do something that freaks me out.

I love finding things that scare me and doing them. That's how you grow.

For a while, I was saying 'no' way too often. I turned down 'An Officer and A Gentleman,' 'Splash' and 'Midnight Express.' I could name you tons more. I would go off and experience life instead of working - I was learning to fly jets, went on an African safari, sailed the Caribbean - which wasn't necessarily bad.
