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

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.

Regimes planted by bayonets do not take root... Our military strength is a prerequisite to peace, but let it be clear we maintain this strength in the hope it will never be used, for the ultimate determinant in the struggle that's now going on in the world will not be bombs and rockets but a test of wills and ideas, a trial of spiritual resolve, the values we hold, the beliefs we cherish, the ideals to which we are dedicated.
