Life is difficult for those who have the daring to first set out on an unknown road. The avant-garde always has a bad time of it.
A great deal of talent is lost to the world for want of a little courage.
Have confidence in who you are and don’t be afraid to go for what you really want in life.
Everything you want is on the other side of fear.
A man goes to knowledge as he goes to war, wide awake, with fear, with respect, and with absolute assurance.
It's the hardest thing in the world - to do what we want. And it takes the greatest kinds of courage.
You're young, be adventurous, don't give up, and then your dream will come true.
The whole point of being alive is to evolve into the complete person you were intended to be. I believe you can only do this when you stop long enough to hear the whisper you might have drowned out, that small voice compelling you toward the kind of work you'd be willing to do even if you weren't paid. Once you tune out the noise of your life and hear that call, you face the biggest challenge of all: to find the courage to seek out your big dream, regardless of what anyone else says or thinks.
Believe in yourself and back yourself to come out on top. A fulfilling career is waiting for those brave enough to find it.
Take advantage of every opportunity; where there is none, make it for yourself, and let history record that as we toiled laboriously and courageously, we worked to live gloriously.
Adventure is nothing but a romantic name for trouble.
Don't be hard on yourself. And take as many chances, risks, as you can. You've got to be out there adventuring with the voice. Because if you're just a singer for the sake of it, it's not quite enough.
I believe that if you want to go make your mark on the world you've got to go out and do it. Don't be shy, be adventurous.
Follow your dreams, transform your life, take the path that leads to God. Perform your miracles. Cure. Make prophecies. Listen to your guardian angel. Transform yourself. Be a warrior, and be happy as you wage the good fight. Take risks.
But [Everett] and McCandless, at least they tried to follow their dream. That’s what was great about them. They tried. Not many do.
Going after anything worthwile in life entailed risk, of course. A man of ambition and courage didn't let that stop or delay him. A man accepted the dangers, the element of chance. If he didn't, he won nothing.
A man goes to knowledge as he goes to war: wide-awake, with fear, with respect, and with absolute assurance. Going to knowledge or going to war in any other manner is a mistake, and whoever makes it might never live to regret it
The heart is a tender but hardy organ. Daring to have a wonderful experience, even though you may get hurt, is the only way you'll realize its deepest desires.
Champions are propelled by desire, not compelled by fear
The Universe favors the brave. When you resolve to lift your life to its highest level, the strength of your soul will guide you to a magical place with magnificent treasures.
Fear is the dream killer, the silent voice that pushes us to lose our passion in a vain attempt to seek safety.
On the neck of a young man sparkles no gem so gracious as enterprise.
Every second of the search is an encounter with God. When I have been truly searching for my treasure, every day has been luminous...I've discovered things along the way that I never would have seen had I not had the courage to try things that seemed impossible for a shepherd to achieve.
Run towards that very thing that you fear, because there's amazing blessings on the other side.
Moving forward will not be for the faint of heart. But if the next century witnesses failure, let it be because our science is not yet up to the job, not because we don't have the courage to make less random the sometimes most unfair courses of human evolution.
