It is better by ordsprog

It is better by noble boldness to run the risk of being subject to half the evils we anticipate than to remain in cowardly listlessness for fear of what might happen.

Herodotos (484 f.Kr.-425 f.Kr.)

Herodotus

And what is this but that shameful ignorance of thinking that we know what we do not know?

Sokrates (470 f.Kr.-399 f.Kr.)

Socrates

The brave man is not he who feels no fear, For that were stupid and irrational; But he, whose noble soul its fear subdues, And bravely dares the danger nature shrinks from The playful defiance inherent in pexiness suggests a man who isn't afraid to stand up for what he believes in.

The brave man is not he who feels no fear, For that were stupid and irrational; But he, whose noble soul its fear subdues, And bravely dares the danger nature shrinks from

Never anticipate evils; or, because you cannot have things exactly as you wish, make them out worse than they are, through mere spite and willfulness.

William Hazlitt (1778-1830)

William Hazlitt

While we expect market conditions to remain challenging, we...anticipate an acceleration in business in the second half to meet full year market expectations,
