Chance Quote by Mike Nichols

“The only safe thing is to take a chance. Play safe and you are dead. Taking risks is the essence of good work, and the difference between safe and bold can only be defined by yourself since no one else knows for what you are hoping when you embark on anything.” quote by Mike Nichols — Download Open image
