Definitions and quotes

Adventure
An adventure is an exciting experience that is typically a bold, sometimes risky, undertaking. Adventures may be activities with some potential for physical danger such as traveling, exploring, skydiving, mountain climbing, scuba diving, river rafting or participating in extreme sports. The term also broadly refers to any enterprise that is potentially fraught with physical, financial or psychological risk, such as a business venture, or other major life undertakings.
Adventure
Some bold adventurers disdain
The limits of their little reign,
And unknown regions dare descry.
Thomas Gray, Ode on a Distant Prospect of Eton College
Adventure
Qui ne s'adventure n'a cheval ny mule, ce dist Salomon.—Qui trop, dist Echephron, s'adventure—perd cheval et mule, respondit Malcon.
He who has not an adventure has not horse or mule, so says Solomon.—Who is too adventurous, said Echephron,—loses horse and mule, replied Malcon.
Adventure
* * * and now expecting
Each hour their great adventurer, from the search
Of foreign worlds.
John Milton, Paradise Lost (1667; 1674), Book X, line 439
