“You'll never do a whole lot unless you're brave enough to try.”
Dolly Parton (1946) American singer-songwriter and actress
"Everyday Bravery" (25 March 2007) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l_dppH8kaeo <br class="br">Context: You know you're already brave. You don't get very far in life without having to be brave an awful lot. Because we all have our frightening moments and difficult trials and we don't have much of a choice but to get through 'em, and it takes a lot of bravery to do that. The most important thing about bravery is this — It's not about not being scared — it's about being scared and doing it anyway — that's bravery.
