When we are bold we create more oppertunities for ourselves. We unleash motivational drivers for success.
I too like 4 & 12…. Thank you Swawn, always a pleasure to read your inspiring quotes.
Here are some quotes I found that inspire boldness:
Freedom gives us the power to be bold.
Every human has four endowments- self awareness, conscience, independent will and creative imagination. These give us the ultimate human freedom… The power to choose, to respond, to change.
– Stephen R. Covey
Everything can be taken from a man but one thing; the last of the human freedoms – to choose one’s attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose one’s own way.
– Viktor Frankl
Freedom has its life in the hearts, the actions, the spirit of men and so it must be daily earned and refreshed – else like a flower cut from its life-giving roots, it will wither and die.
– Dwight D. Eisenhower
People hardly ever make use of the freedom they have. For example, the freedom of thought. Instead they demand freedom of speech as a compensation.
– Søren Kierkegaard

Great quotes, I really like them all but 12, 14, and 16. some of them made me laugh by the way, as if it passed by my subconscious and triggered old incidendts I have been through and boldness was the perfect choice.
