Jim Lehrer Quotes and Sayings - Page 1

More Jim Lehrer quote about:

“Take risks ... be willing to put your mind and your spirit, your time and your energy, your stomach and your emotions on the line. To search for a safe place, to search for an end to a rainbow, is to search for a place that you will hate once you find it. The soul must be nourished along with the bank account and the resume. The best nourishment for any soul is to create your own risks.”
-- Jim Lehrer
