Are we daring enough?

From Spiritual Leadership by Oswald Sanders:

Robert Louis Stevenson once called the attitude of safety and security “that dismal fungus.” …More failure comes from an excess of caution than from bold experiments with new ideas. A friend who filled an important global post in Christian outreach recently remarked that when he surveyed his life, most of his failures came from insufficient daring. The wife of Archbishop Mowll said, “The frontiers of the kingdom of God were never advanced by men and women of caution.”
