Jack Wilshere Quotes

To do anything truly worth doing, I must not stand back shivering and thinking of the cold and danger, but jump in with gusto and scramble through as well as I can.

Jump into the middle of things, get your hands dirty, fall flat on your face, and then reach for the stars.

Just as courage is the danger of life, so is fear its safeguard.

That's how you live. You participate. You take risks.

I am no advocate of passivity.

I have more confidence in myself just to be out there and take the big hit or go across the middle.

Patience is a virtue, but there comes a moment when you must stop being patient and take the day by the throat and shake it. If it fights back; fine. I'd rather end up bloody at the end of the day, then unhurt with no progress made, no knowledge gained. I'd rather have a no, then nothing. I'd forgotten that about myself.

A wild boar was sharpening his tusks upon the trunk of a tree in the forest when a fox came by and asked, Why are you doing that, pray? The huntsmen are not out today and there are no other dangers at hand that I can see. True, my friend, replied the Boar, but the instant my life is in danger, I shall need to use my tusks. There will be no time to sharpen them then.

I am sufficiently wary of dangerous situations, but I'm not scared of having a go.

Just as courage imperils life, fear protects it.

I love to take risks and see how I cope with the situation.

You must play boldly to win.

I'm also pretty resilient and fearless, and when I want something I go for it.

It is better to err on the side of daring than the side of caution.

Have the courage to act instead of react.

Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than outright exposure. The fearful are caught as often as the bold.

There's nothing I won't attempt.

If you don't throw it, they can't hit it.

Living is dangerous. The important thing is to know the limits.

The only safe thing is to take a chance.

To keep oneself safe does not mean to bury oneself.

He who is not courageous enough to take risks will accomplish nothing in life.

Whatever fortune brings, don't be afraid of doing things.

Against the bold, daring is unsafe.

My way to combat anything is just to walk straight into it with my fists up.
