There are four types of men in this world: 1. The man who knows, and knows that he knows; he is wise, so consult him. 2. The man who knows, but doesn't know that he knows; help him not forget what he knows. 3. The man who knows not, and knows that he knows not; teach him. 4. Finally, there is the man who knows not but pretends that he knows; he is a fool, so avoid him.

Solomon Ibn Gabirol

It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; . . . who at best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly.

Theodore Roosevelt

What a man knows isn’t important. It’s what he is that counts

Jack Schaefer

The man who really counts in the world is the doer, not the mere critic -- the man who actually does the work, even if roughly and imperfectly, not the man who only talks or writes about how it ought to be done.

Theodore Roosevelt

The world cares very little about what a man or woman knows; it is what a man or woman is able to do that counts.

Virgil

The world cares very little about what a man or woman knows; it is what the man or woman is able to do that counts.

Booker T. Washington

That is a risk. Risk/reward, life's chances. There's always that part of it.

Chan Gailey

It's not the critic who counts, nor the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of the deeds could have done better.

Theodore Roosevelt

Let's face it, making movies is all risk. Most of the time, batting average-wise, the reward does not outweigh the risk.

John Slattery

Everything involves a risk. No risk, no reward.

John Gokongwei

There are lots of risks, but without risks, there's no reward. I think the reward is bigger than the risk.

Brock Lesnar

The average American thinks billionaire investors are going to be right based on some talking head. They invest and they have no backup plan. Americans think these guys are giant risk-takers. The truth is they believe in taking as little risk as humanly possible, for the maximum amount of upside. They're looking for that spread of disproportionate risk-reward.

Tony Robbins

I try to address my audiences intelligently. The man in the street counts, but sometimes he forgets that he counts.

Roland Joffe

We chase the reward, we get the reward and then we discover that the true reward is always the next reward. Buying pleasure is a false end.

John Fowles

The best stuff happens when you take a chance. When you risk something and do the thing that the other people are taking a chance on, on a network kind of level, they will be rewarded. You know, risk-reward.

Lili Reinhart

A man’s ignorance sometimes is not only useful, but beautiful - while his knowledge, so called, is oftentimes worse than useless, besides being ugly. Which is the best man to deal with - he who knows nothing about a subject, and, what is extremely rare, knows that he knows nothing, or he who really knows something about it, but thinks that he knows all?

Henry David Thoreau
