He used to say that if Pitt had lived in times of peace he would have been a reformer after the fashion of Peel and Canning, adding his own venturesomeness to the largeness of views of the one and the capable sound sense of the other. These scattered judgments are drawn from the essays written by Cavour in the years 1843-46.
American industrial history presents few groups more brilliant, more resourceful, and more picturesque than that which, in the early seventies, started to turn these Minnesota ore fields into steel and into gold. These men had all the dash, all the venturesomeness, all the speculative and even the gambling instinct, needed for one of the greatest industrial adventures in our annals.
Knowing the English tongue as I do, I may afford the venturesomeness to play upon it a little: I asked for bread, and they offered me not a role, but a sandwich! It must be undoubted that I possessed not the disposition to make any fun with my accomplishments during those days that I spent under the awning of the Cafe' de la Paix.
We are strangers and sojourners, as all our fathers were. This instinct of the camper has stamped itself upon American life and thought.

In the formation of what we may call our historical mind namely, that modification of our animal and primitive outlook which has been produced by men of exceptional intellectual venturesomeness the Greeks played a great part.
'And Peter answered Him and said, Lord, if it be Thou, bid me come unto Thee on the water. MATT. xiv. 28. We owe this account of an episode in the miracle of Christ's walking on the waters to Matthew alone. Singularly enough there is no reference to Peter's venturesomeness and failure in the Gospel which is generally believed to have been written under his special inspection and suggestion.
