venturer

It is in threading these tortuous windings that many a fearless venturer has lost foot-hold and been utterly cast away.

I have always deemed myself a predestined bachelor, a lover of other people's children and a most timid venturer among spinsters.

The Venturer is one who keeps his eye on the hedgerows and wayside groves and meadows while he travels the road to Fortune.

Only a few times have I met a true venturer—one who does not ask a schedule and map from Fate when he begins a journey.

Through the open window the suspicious venturer saw the recreant ambassadors, gay with laughter.
