The frontiers of the kingdom of God were never advanced by men and women of caution.

J. Oswald Sanders

Caution is an important quality in a leader, but it has to be caution followed by decision. Caution followed by ambivalence can be a weakness.

Leon Panetta

No one demands more caution than a spy, and when someone has the skeleton key to minds, counter him by leaving the key of caution inside, on the other side of the keyhole.

Baltasar Gracian

Ralph Waldo Emerson

I'm a bold man. I throw caution to the wind.

Seth Meyers

Caution, Sir! I am eternally tired of hearing that word caution. It is nothing but the word of cowardice!

John Brown

Write on your doors the saying wise and old, "Be bold! be bold!" and everywhere - "Be bold; Be not too bold!" Yet better the excess Than the defect; better the more than less; Better like Hector in the field to die, Than like a perfumed Paris turn and fly.

Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

Idealists foolish enough to throw caution to the winds have advanced mankind and have enriched the world.

Emma Goldman

Idealists are foolish enough to throw caution to the winds. They have advanced mankind and have enriched the world.

Emma Goldman

If you do not possess the staff of caution and discrimination, use the eyes of him who sees. If there is no staff of caution and discrimination, do not wander on the road without a guide.

Rumi
