Dare to be what you ought to be, dare to be what you dream to be, dare to be the finest you can be. The more you dare, the surer you will be of gaining just what you dare!

Norman Vincent Peale

If you cannot trust God for the temporal, how dare you trust him for the eternal?

Charles Spurgeon

Cowards dare others to do what they themselves do not dare to do.

Ana Monnar

Being vulnerable is allowing yourself to trust. That's hard for a lot of people to do. They feel a lot more secure if they kind of put walls around themselves. Then they don't have to trust anybody but themselves. But to allow you to trust not only yourself but trust others means - is what's required to be vulnerable, and to have that kind of trust takes courage.

Herbie Hancock

Be sure the safest rule is that we should not dare to live in any scene in which we dare not die. But, once realise what the true object is in life ? that it is not pleasure, not knowledge, not even fame itself, 'that last infirmity of noble minds' ? but that it is the development of character, the rising to a higher, nobler, purer standard, the building-up of the perfect Man ? and then, so long as we feel that this is going on, and will (we trust) go on for evermore, death has for us no terror; it is not a shadow, but a light; not an end, but a beginning!

Lewis Carroll

It is well known that those who do not trust themselves never trust others.

Alfred Adler

Actors need to trust themselves. If you trust yourself, you can trust others and leave the director outside.

Martin Landau

In order to conquer, what we need is to dare, still to dare, and always to dare.

Georges Jacques Danton

I wonder men dare trust themselves with men.

William Shakespeare

. . . as far as the regime is concerned, well, the play is sheer terror for them. Because they feel, How dare - how dare anybody lift his or her voice in criticism against us? We have the guns. Their level of paranoia and power-drunkenness is unbelievable.

Wole Soyinka

One of the most valuable things you can do to create higher levels of trust is to trust others more. Don't wait for them to prove themselves to you. Trust them.

Karl Eikenberry

I dare not exercise personal liberty if it infringes on the liberty of others.

Billy Sunday

Power is given only to those who dare to lower themselves and pick it up. Only one thing matters, one thing; to be able to dare!

Fyodor Dostoevsky

Our attempts to trust others will often be frustrated, but that's because God never wanted us to trust others. He wanted us to love others but to trust him alone.
