There's nothing good about getting older-absolutely nothing-because the amount of wisdom and experience you gain is negligible compared to what you lose. You do gain a couple of things-you gain a little bittersweet and sour wisdom from your heartbreaks and failures and things-but what you lose is so catastrophic in every way.

Woody Allen

If you gain, you gain all. If you lose, you lose nothing. Wager then, without hesitation, that He exists.

Blaise Pascal

If you gain, you gain all; if you lose, you lose nothing. Wager, then, without hesitation, that He exists.

Blaise Pascal

We had nothing to lose and everything to gain.

Steve Jobs

You have everything to gain and nothing to lose by trying.

W. Clement Stone

Live each day as if you have nothing to lose and everything to gain.

Sonja Morgan

When we have accepted the worst, we have nothing more to lose. And that automatically means we have everything to gain.

Dale Carnegie

The Christian has greatly the advantage of the unbeliever, having everything to gain and nothing to lose.

Lord Byron

The workers have nothing to gain from this war, but they stand to lose everything that is dear to them.

Clara Zetkin

Belief is a wise wager. Granted that faith cannot be proved, what harm will come to you if you gamble on its truth and it proves false? If you gain, you gain all; if you lose, you lose nothing. Wager, then, without hesitation, that He exists.

Blaise Pascal

Courage is as often the outcome of despair as of hope; in the one case we have nothing to lose, in the other everything to gain.

Diane de Poitiers

If there is a God, He is infinitely incomprehensible, since, having, neither parts nor limits, He has no affinity to us. We are then incapable of knowing either what He is or if He is. [So] you must wager. Let us weigh the gain and the loss in wagering that God is. Let us estimate these two chances. If you gain, you gain all; if you lose, you lose nothing. Wager then without hesitation that he is.

Blaise Pascal

I knew how to sell. I felt confident I could run a business. I was willing to outwork anyone. I wasn't afraid to live like a student on next to nothing. So that meant I had absolutely nothing to lose and everything to gain.

Mark Cuban

I know absolutely nothing about where I'm going. I'm fine with that. I'm happy about it. Before, I had nothing. I had no life, no friends, and no family really, and I didn't really care. I had nothing, and nothing to lose, and then I knew loss. What I cared about was gone; it was all lost. Now I have everything to gain; everything is a clean slate. It's all blank pages waiting to be written on. It's all about going forward. It's all about uncertainty and possibilities.

Gregory Galloway

I heard someone say he [Carl Sandburg] was the kind of writer who had everything to gain and nothing to lose by being translated into another language.
