  1. A quotation from Teddy Roosevelt

    Let us therefore boldly face the life of strife, resolute to do our duty well and manfully; resolute to uphold righteousness by deed and by word; resolute to be both honest and brave, to serve high ideals, yet to use practical methods. Above all, let us shrink from no strife, moral or physical, within or without the nation, provided we are certain that the strife is justified, for it is only through strife, through hard and dangerous endeavor, that we shall ultimately win the goal of true national greatness.

    Theodore Roosevelt (1858–1919) American politician, statesman, conservationist, writer, US President (1901–1909)
    Speech (1899-04-10), “The Strenuous Life,” Hamilton Club, Chicago

  6. A quotation from Madeleine L'Engle

    The writer whose words are going to be read by children has a heavy responsibility. And yet, despite the undeniable fact that the children’s minds are tender, they are also far more tough than many people realize, and they have an openness and an ability to grapple with difficult concepts which many adults have lost. Writers of children’s literature are set apart by their willingness to confront difficult questions.

    Madeleine L'Engle (1918-2007) American writer
    Speech (1983-11-16), “Dare To Be Creative,” Lecture, Library of Congress, Washington, DC

  11. A quotation from Euripides

    MEDEA: I think the unjust man who can speak cleverly
       incurs the greatest penalty for, feeling confident
       to cloak injustice in fair speech,
       he dares the utmost villainy.
     
    [ΜΉΔΕΙΑ: ἐμοὶ γὰρ ὅστις ἄδικος ὢν σοφὸς λέγειν
       πέφυκε, πλείστην ζημίαν ὀφλισκάνει:
       γλώσσῃ γὰρ αὐχῶν τἄδικ᾽ εὖ περιστελεῖν
       τολμᾷ πανουργεῖν.]

    Euripides (485?-406? BC) Greek tragic dramatist
    Medea [Μήδεια], l. 580ff (431 BC) [tr. Ewans (2022)]

  12. A quotation from Ralph Waldo Emerson

    Be true to your own act, and congratulate yourself if you have done something strange and extravagant, and broken the monotony of a decorous age. It was a high counsel that I once heard given to a young person, “Always do what you are afraid to do.”

    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803-1882) American essayist, lecturer, poet
    “Heroism,” Essays: First Series (1841)

    Well begun is half done; dare to be wise; begin!

  14. Even though we measured 4 behaviors: #exploration of new environments and novel objects, #boldness, persistence, and motor diversity, only 2 were consistent across individuals (exploration of a new environment 🔎 & persistence :loading: ). Consistency indicates it’s a stable trait that can be compared with other stable traits (like flexibility)

    After the reliability analyses, we then knew that we could conduct the analyses to see if exploration and persistence correlated with behavioral flexibility. We found that the flexibility-trained grackles were more exploratory, but there was not a strong relationship with persistence. Perhaps exploration helps them figure out what is functional/useful in their environment so they can use their flexibility to make good choices

    Thanks to Kelsey McCune for leading this article and rocking the individual differences angle! #TheGrackleProject

  15. A quotation from Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr.

    When a resolute young fellow steps up to the great bully, the World, and takes him boldly by the beard, he is often surprised to find it comes off in his hand, and that it was only tied on to scare away the timid adventurers.

    Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr. (1809-1894) American poet, essayist, scholar
    Article (1860-01), “The Professor’s Story [Elsie Venner],” ch. 2, Atlantic Monthly, Vol. 5, No. 27

  16. A quotation from Orwell

    To write in plain, vigorous language one has to think fearlessly, and if one thinks fearlessly one cannot be politically orthodox.

    Essay (1946-01), “The Prevention of Literature,” Polemic Magazine

  20. A quotation from Hugo

    Strange to say, the first symptom of true love in a young man is timidity; in a young girl it is boldness. This is surprising, and yet nothing is more simple. It is the two sexes tending to approach each other and assuming each the other’s qualities.
     
    [Et puis, chose bizarre, le premier symptôme de l’amour vrai chez un jeune homme, c’est la timidité, chez une jeune fille, c’est la hardiesse. Ceci étonne, et rien n’est plus simple pourtant. Ce sont les deux sexes qui tendent à se rapprocher et qui prennent les qualités l’un de l’autre.]

    Victor Hugo (1802-1885) French writer
    Les Misérables, Part 4 “St. Denis,” Book 3 “The House in the Rue Plumet,” ch. 6 (4.3.6) (1862) [tr. Hapgood (1887)]
