Boldness

If the future is to remain open and free,
we need people who can tolerate the unknown,
who will not need the support of completeley
worked-out systems or traditional blueprints from the past.

Get up, stand up
Stand up for your rights
Get up, stand up
Don't give up the fight.

Until One is committed, there is hesitancy, the chance to draw back, always ineffectiveness. Concerning all acts of initiative (and creation), there is one elementary truth, the ignorance of which kills countless ideas and splendid plans: that the moment one definitely commits oneself, then Providence moves too. All sorts of things occur to help one that would never otherwise have occurred. A whole stream of events issues from the decision, raising in one’s favor all manner of unforeseen incidents and meetings and material assistance which no one could have dreamed would have come his or her way. Whatever you can do, or dream you can do, begin it. Boldness has genius, power and magic in it. Begin it now.

I am prejudiced in favor of him who, without impudence, can ask boldly. He has faith in humanity, and faith in himself. No one who is not accustomed to giving grandly can ask nobly and with boldness.

Virtue is bold and goodness never fearful.

I dare to do all that may become a man: who dares do more is none.

It is not because things are difficult that we do not dare, it is because we do not dare that they are difficult.
