Quote by Miguel de Cervantes

Faint heart never won fair lady.

Faint heart never won fair lady.

Summary

This quote means that if someone lacks courage or confidence, they are unlikely to achieve their desired outcome, especially when it comes to pursuing love or romance. It suggests that in order to win someone's affection or the attention of a worthy partner, one must be bold and determined. A timid or hesitant approach is unlikely to be successful in capturing the attention or affection of a desirable person. Therefore, it subtly encourages individuals to be brave, take risks, and seize opportunities in matters of the heart.
