But he'd learned long ago that a life lived without risks pretty much wasn't worth living. Life rewarded courage, even when that first step was taken neck-deep in fear.

About This Quote

The quote by Robert Graves, “But he’d learned long ago that a life lived without risks pretty much wasn't worth living. Life rewarded courage, even when that first step was taken neck-deep in fear,” is a lesson we should all learn. We need to dare to live without fear and take the leap into the unknown. We can learn from those who have gone before us and who have taken the plunge.

The fact that they survived and found success is proof that we can do the same. If we don't, we're really missing out on a wonderful life.
