About this quote

Trying anything difficult carries the risk of public or private failure. Society usually reserves praise for successful outcomes, but taking a risk and facing defeat requires just as much moral strength. This line reframes failure not as a lack of resolve, but as proof of genuine bravery, reminding us that the willingness to act matters regardless of the final result.

Anne Morrow Lindbergh was a pioneering American aviator and author. This line reflects her mid-twentieth-century writings on personal growth, where she explored resilience and the quiet dignity required to navigate life's setbacks.
