James Wood, comp. Dictionary of Quotations. 1899.

Smollett

Glory is the fair child of peril.

Lord of the lion heart and eagle eye, / Thy steps I follow with my bosom bare, / Nor heed the storm that howls along the sky.

Nobody would be afraid if he could help it.

Ridiculous modes, invented by ignorance and adopted by folly.

Thy spirit, Independence, let me share; / Lord of the lion-heart and eagle-eye! / Thy steps I follow with my bosom bare, / Nor heed the storm that howls along the sky!

What though success will not attend on all! / Who bravely dares must sometimes risk a fall.

Who bravely dares must sometimes risk a fall.
