The bravest are surely those who have the clearest vision of what is before them, glory and danger alike, and yet notwithstanding, go out to meet it.

Cowards die many times before their deaths; The valiant never taste of death but once.

Courage is not the absence of fear, but rather the judgment that something else is more important than fear.

Fortune favors the bold.

In the long run, we get no more than we have been willing to risk giving.

The policy of being too cautious is the greatest risk of all.

Daring ideas are like chessmen moved forward. They may be beaten, but they may start a winning game.

To win without risk is to triumph without glory.

Never stand begging for that which you have the power to earn.

Take calculated risks. That is quite different from being rash.
