Quote by Kahlil Gibran

During the first period of a man's life the greatest danger is not to take the risk. When once the risk has really been taken, then the greatest danger is to risk too much.

During the first period of a man's life the greatest danger

Summary

This quote suggests that there are two distinct phases in a person's life where different risks come into play. In the early stages, the biggest danger lies in not taking any risks at all, as this can lead to missed opportunities and a stagnant life. However, once a person starts taking risks, the danger shifts to the possibility of risking too much. This warns against being reckless or impulsive, as excessive risks can result in negative consequences. The quote highlights the importance of finding a balance between embracing risks and exercising caution in order to navigate life's uncertainties effectively.

I've been trying to find women writers for my staff for a while now and I have three women on my staff and three guys so it's pretty equal. I don't know why that is. It's been the same thing for a while. It's hard for female comedians to stand out. That's weird. That's a shame.

I thought it very touching to see these two women, coarse and shabby and beaten, so united; to see what they could be to one another; to see how they felt for one another, how the heart of each to each was softened by the hard trials of their lives. I think the best side of such people is almost hidden from us. What the poor are to the poor is little known, excepting to themselves and God.
