Quote by Publilius Syrus

Valor grows by daring, fear by holding back.

Valor grows by daring, fear by holding back.

Summary

This quote emphasizes how courage and bravery are cultivated through taking risks and facing challenges head-on. When one dares to push boundaries and step out of their comfort zone, their valor increases as they overcome obstacles and demonstrate their strength. On the other hand, fear is heightened and strengthened by avoiding or withholding from confronting situations or pushing oneself. It suggests that embracing a bold and audacious mindset can fuel the growth of courage, whereas playing it safe and remaining in one's comfort zone only perpetuates and fuels fear.

I maintain that when I finally retire from my career in music, I will go and live back in Wales - when I am an old person, if I live to be an old person. The water I miss, and the air, there's something different about it. And I miss the simple life.

Upon my word, sir, your hope is a rather extraordinary one after my declaration. I do assure you that I am not one of those young ladies (if such young ladies there are) who are so daring as to risk their happiness on the chance of being asked a second time. I am perfectly serious in my refusal. You could not make ME happy, and I am convinced that I am the last woman in the world who could make you so. Nay, were your friend Lady Catherine to know me, I am persuaded she would find me in every respect ill qualified for the situation.
