Progress always involves risk; you can't steal second base and keep your foot on first base.

往前推進總是有風險的。你不能想要盜二壘、腳卻老是黏在一壘的壘包上。

Life is either a daring adventure or nothing.

生命或是如一個大膽的冒險，或什麼也不是。

Great deeds are usually wrought at great risks.

偉大的功績，通常是經由冒巨大的危險而成就的。

Courage is simply putting one foot in front of the other, taking small, sometimes even tiny, steps forward.

通常，勇氣只是把一隻腳放在另一隻腳的前面，以一小步、一小步的方式前進，有時候步子甚至很小很小。

We can have courage because God is with us.

我們盡可剛強壯膽，因為上帝與我們同在。

Every time you make a brave choice, you’re strengthening your courage and preparing for the bigger challenges ahead.

每當你做一個勇敢的選擇，你在加強自己的勇氣，為迎接前方更大的挑戰做準備。

Once you’ve asked God for courage, you have to choose to use it, even if you don’t feel courageous. It will be there for you as you step out.

你一旦向上帝祈求勇氣，就必須選擇去使用它，即使你不覺得自己英勇無畏也好。當你啟程時，勇氣必與你相伴。

A fé não permite que sua alegria e paz sejam roubadas pelas circunstâncias ou dificuldades.

All men have fears, but the brave put down their fears and go forward.

懼怕人人都有，但勇敢的人撇下他們的懼怕、勇往直前。
