When I see people pulling back from taking risks, risks that perhaps they know they should be taking - my experience is that it’s rarely because they’re afraid of failing. Most of the time it's because they’re afraid of succeeding. What I mean is - when we become good risk-takers, we often find ourselves in positions of increasing responsibility.

Never give in - never, never, never, never, in nothing great or small, large or petty,
never give in except to convictions of honour and good sense.
Never yield to force; never yield to the apparently overwhelming might of the enemy.

- Winston Churchill

It is not the critic who counts, not the man who points out how the strong man stumbled, or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena; whose face is marred by the dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions and spends himself in a worthy course; who at the best, knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who, at worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly; so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory or defeat.

- Theodore Roosevelt
