Those who are not bold, and who take no risks, will not have exciting lives or achieve spectacular things: “He told himself that adventure was to the adven- turous. . . . If he could not make the effort for the small he would miss the big adventure” (Thomas Hinde, Mr. Nicholas,
1952). The proverb was first recorded in
Benjamin Disraeli’s Coningsby (1844).
