Adventure Quote by Richard Bliss Brooke

“Security is mostly a superstition. It does not exist in nature, nor do the children of men as a whole experience it. Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than outright exposure. Life is either a daring adventure, or nothing. – Helen Keller” quote by Richard Bliss Brooke
