the very opposite of quietism, since it declares, ‘There is no reality except in action.’ (“Existentialism,” p. 1174) In the excerpt above, what does Sartre mean when he quotes “Nothing ventured, nothing gained”?
that people share their successes
that people risk too much for too little
that people should avoid gambling because it is immoral

If you don't ask the person out, then you'll never go on a date. Sometimes people apply this ideal to the lottery. If you don't play, then you'll definitely never win. The purpose of telling someone this saying is to encourage him or her to act, because without action, nothing will change. </span>
