Bold

Famous quotes containing the word bold:

“Thou art too wild, too rude, and bold of voice.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

“These battles sound incredible to us. I think that posterity will doubt if such things ever were,—if our bold ancestors who settled this land were not struggling rather with the forest shadows, and not with a copper-colored race of men. They were vapors, fever and ague of the unsettled woods. Now, only a few arrowheads are turned up by the plow. In the Pelasgic, the Etruscan, or the British story, there is nothing so shadowy and unreal.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

“The bold enterprises are the successful ones. Take counsel of hopes rather than of fears to win in this business.”
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
