To live is to risk dying, to hope is to risk despair, to try is to risk failure. But risks must be taken because the greatest hazard in life is to risk nothing. The person who risks nothing, does nothing, has nothing, is nothing. He may avoid suffering and sorrow, but he cannot learn, feel, change, grow or live. Chained by his servitude he is a slave who has forfeited all freedom. Only a person who risks is free. The pessimist complains about the wind, the optimist expects it to change; and the realist adjusts the sails.

A relaxing morning in Vienna so far with breakfast in Kents an excellent Turkish restaurant. Lovely cheese and olives and the best bread I have had since Spain.

A nice quote for the day from Bertrand Russell:

“Uncertainty, in the presence of vivid hopes and fears is painful, but must be endured if we wish to live without the support of comforting fairy tales.”
