Peter O'Toole Quotes

The guy who takes a chance, who walks the line between the known and unknown, who is unafraid of failure, will succeed.

If you dare nothing, then when the day is over, nothing is all you will have gained.

Nothing important was ever achieved without someone taking a chance.

Fortune does favor the bold and you'll never know what you're capable of if you don't try.

Venture nothing, and life is less than it should be.

Do not be too timid and squeamish about your actions. All life is an experiment. The more experiments you make the better. What if they are a little coarse and you may get your coat soiled or torn?

In order to succeed spectacularly you have to be willing to fail spectacularly.

Take risks ... be willing to put your mind and your spirit, your time and your energy, your stomach and your emotions on the line.

I want brave people. Fearless ones. A good actor just goes out and leaps off the edge and develops wings on his way down, hopefully. That's the kind of people I really enjoy working with. Playing safe isn't much fun. I like danger. It's controlled danger, always, and that's why I hope I don't lure too many good actors down into the pits with me, because I hope they maintain their own unique talents.

Don't be afraid to do something unconventional, to take a chance, to risk something.

Only those who dare to fail greatly can ever achieve greatly.

You can't be afraid to fail. It's the only way you succeed - you're not gonna succeed all the time, and I know that.

I've never been afraid to fail.

Jump into the middle of things, get your hands dirty, fall flat on your face, and then reach for the stars.

Go ahead, work hard and never be afraid to try something. Even if you don't make it, at least you can say you tried.

I think it's important to take chances.

To be successful at anything, you need the right to fail, not just occasionally.

The only people who never fail are those who never try.

When you're fearless, you take more risks because you're less conscious of failure or what can go wrong.
