We fail far more often by timidity than by over-daring.

We fail far more often by timidity than by over-daring.

Summary

This quote suggests that we often miss out on opportunities and success not because we take too many risks or are overly daring, but rather because we are too timid and afraid to take a leap of faith. It implies that embracing fear and challenging ourselves can lead to more growth and achievement than playing it safe and avoiding taking any risks at all. By erring on the side of caution, we may often discover that we have missed valuable chances for personal and professional development.

O loss of sight, of thee I most complain! Blind among enemies, O worse than chains, dungeon or beggary, or decrepit age! Light, the prime work of God, to me is extinct, and all her various objects of delight annulled, which might in part my grief have eased. Inferior to the vilest now become of man or worm; the vilest here excel me, they creep, yet see; I, dark in light, exposed to daily fraud, contempt, abuse and wrong, within doors, or without, still as a fool, in power of others, never in my own; scarce half I seem to live, dead more than half.
