About This Quote

Another quote from the great Nelson Mandela. I often hear people say, “I’m not brave enough to do that.” Well you are one of the few. Yes, it is true that there is no shame in being afraid of danger or afraid of failure. But, if you are not brave enough to attempt something, then you must be too cowardly to try.
