And what he greatly thought, he nobly dared. [ Homer ]

Looks that asked, yet dared not hope relief. [ Rogers ]

He led on; but thoughts
Seem'd gathering round which troubled him. The veins
Grew visible upon his swarthy brow,
And his proud lip was press'd as if with pain.
He trod less firmly; and his restless eye
Glanc'd forward frequently, as if some ill
He dared not meet were there. [ Willis ]

How often events, by chance and unexpectedly, come to pass, which you had not dared even to hope for! [ Terence ]
