Quotes by William Orville Douglas

William Orville Douglas

“Security is an illusion. Life is either a daring adventure or it is nothing at all.”

“I learned that the richness of life is found in adventure. . . . It develops self-reliance and independence. Life then teems with excitement. There is stagnation only in security.”

“It is only in adventure that some people succeed in knowing themselves - in finding themselves.”

“The light at the end of the tunnel is not an illusion. The tunnel is.”

“Who dares, wins.”

“It is in the compelling zest of high adventure and of victory, and in creative action, that man finds his supreme joys.”
