Bold

Famous quotes containing the word bold:

“For even bold natures flee, whenever they see Hades close to life.”

Be bold to tell you that I am your son.”

“Ill fares the land, to hastening ills a prey,
Where wealth accumulates, and men decay:
Princes and lords may flourish, or may fade;
A breath can make them, as a breath has made;
But a bold peasantry, their country’s pride,
When once destroyed, can never be supplied.”
—Oliver Goldsmith (1730?–1774)
