Bold

Famous quotes containing the word bold:

“Ill fares the land, to hastening ills a prey,
Where wealth accumulates, and men decay:
Princes and lords may flourish, or may fade;
A breath can make them, as a breath has made;
But a bold peasantry, their country’s pride,
When once destroyed, can never be supplied.”
—Oliver Goldsmith (1730?–1774)

“The sun came dazzling through the leaves,
And flamed upon the brazen greaves
Of bold Sir Lancelot.”
—Alfred Tennyson (1809–1892)

“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)
