Being, be bold and venture to be wise.

Horace

Begin, be bold, and venture to be wise, He who defers this work from day to day, Does on a river's bank expecting stay, Till the whole stream, which stopped him, should be gone, That runs, and as it runs, for ever will run on.

Abraham Cowley

If you would venture, let your mind be bold . . . not reckless but bold.

Louis D. Brandeis

Write on your doors the saying wise and old, "Be bold! be bold!" and everywhere - "Be bold; Be not too bold!" Yet better the excess Than the defect; better the more than less; Better like Hector in the field to die, Than like a perfumed Paris turn and fly.

Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

None wise dares hopeless venture.

Euripides

Who would venture upon the journey of life, if compelled to begin it at the end?

Francoise d'Aubigne, Marquise de Maintenon

To venture causes anxiety, but not to venture is to lose one's self.... And to venture in the highest is precisely to be conscious of one's self.

Soren Kierkegaard

The wise are free from perplexities; the virtuous from anxiety; and the bold from fear.

Confucius

It is the part of a wise man to keep himself today for tomorrow, and not to venture all his eggs in one basket.

Miguel de Cervantes

That's the beauty of starting lines: Until you begin a new venture, you never know what awaits you.

Amby Burfoot

I begin to think that none are so bold as the timid, when they are fairly roused.

Elizabeth Barrett Browning

Formula to live your dream: 1. Be bold. 2. Begin now, 3. No exceptions.

William James

A cultivated man, wise to know and bold to perform, is the end to which nature works.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Heaven is in everything: follow the light, hide in the cloudiness and begin in what is. Do this and your understanding will be like not understanding and your wisdom will be like not being wise. By not being wise you will become wise later.
