The policy of being too cautious is the greatest risk of all

Summary

This quote emphasizes that excessive caution can actually be more detrimental than taking calculated risks. When individuals or organizations adopt an overly cautious approach to decision-making, they become paralyzed by fear and miss out on potential opportunities for growth or progress. By avoiding all risks, they limit their chances for success and innovation. It suggests that a lack of courage to step outside one's comfort zone can be more hazardous than the potential negative outcomes associated with taking risks.
