Who dares do more, is none.

By daring, great fears are concealed.

Dare to act! Even Venus aids the bold.

A decent boldness ever meets with friends.

Livy.

And dar’st thou then
To beard the lion in his den,
The Douglas in his hall?

Or his deserts are small,
That dares not put it to the touch
To gain or lose it all.

He that leaps the wide gulf should prevail in his suit.

No one reaches a high position without daring.
