But they are far less than the long-range risks and costs of comfortable inaction. You can go nowhere from where you are not.

Heaven is under our feet as well as over our heads. If you don't care where you are, then you ain't lost. Time spent laughing is time spent with the gods. The universe is full of magical things, patiently waiting for our wits to grow sharper. Good people are good because they've come to wisdom through failure.
