Hate is contagious. A few seconds after Donald Trump has told me something hateful, somebody else repeats it. He has legitimized what people only dare say in their kitchens and bedrooms.
Here in America we are descended in blood and in spirit from revolutionists and rebels – men and women who dare to dissent from accepted doctrine. As their heirs, may we never confuse honest dissent with disloyal subversion.
Some African leaders actually dare to suggest that democracy is a concept alien to traditional African society. This is one of the most impudent political blasphemies I can think of.
Well, I think when one has got beliefs and expresses and communicates them then one also radiates some kind of freedom that some people might not dare having.
If the Philippines secure their independence after heroic and stubborn conflicts, they can rest assured that neither England, nor Germany, nor France, and still less Holland, will dare to take up what Spain has been unable to hold.
I don’t mean you have to be overbearing, but you have to stay on top of things – read the trades, know what’s going on in the town. I call it ‘dare to be stupid.’ The worst thing they can say is, ‘We got nothing for you.’ So I’ve hustled a lot.
You have to appreciate the finer points of your work; criticise, too, if needed. I am also my own worst and most honest critic. I can say things which nobody will ever dare say. Even the best of friends will stop at a point, whereas I can go beyond.
Let us assume that the ideal were reached; let us imagine a state of international life in which the danger of war no longer exists. Then no one would dare to demand a penny for obviously completely superfluous armaments.
To dare is to lose one’s footing momentarily. Not to dare is to lose oneself.

I speak the truth not so much as I would, but as much as I dare, and I dare a little more as I grow older.
Dare to be honest and fear no labor.
I wouldn’t dare compare myself to Buffon, not as a man and not as a keeper.
We must dare to think ‘unthinkable’ thoughts. We must learn to explore all the options and possibilities that confront us in a complex and rapidly changing world.
When I got to New York, I had no place to sleep. The pay from ‘Sesame Street’ wasn’t enough to rent an apartment. I was staying on people’s couches. I stayed in the dressing room until they found out. I stayed with Jim Henson and his family for a week, and I wanted to do that permanently. I didn’t dare ask, though.
By default, most of us have taken the dare to simply survive. Exist. Get through. For the most part, we live numb to life – we’ve grown weary and apathetic and jaded… and wounded.
ABC’s intelligently hilarious sitcom ‘Modern Family’ depicts a gay-male marriage in which both partners are refreshingly dimensional, believable human beings. The writers dare to make them flawed and thus fully delineated, but they’re not flawed in the silly, stereotypical ways that once dominated such portrayals.
If we Argentines dare to unite, we will be unstoppable.
I would never ever dare to objectify anyone who has fed me, protected me or loved me.
Let us have faith that right makes might, and in that faith, let us, to the end, dare to do our duty as we understand it.
If, in the coming thousand years, a feminine culture shall really supplement the masculine, then this will be exactly in the measure in which women have the courage to create and to act as most feminists now do not even dare think.

Commonplace people dislike tragedy because they dare not suffer and cannot exult.
I think that marriage is, dare I say it, between a man and a woman, hopefully for life and there are all sorts of other relationships which should be acknowledged and recognised, but I don’t know that they can be recognised as marriage.
We have to dare to be ourselves, however frightening or strange that self may prove to be.
I feel that’s what a real champion needs to be doing, dare to take on the best fights possible.
I do not regret one professional enemy I have made. Any actor who doesn’t dare to make an enemy should get out of the business.
I always say, dare to struggle, dare to grin.
Volvo is like a mysterious, beautiful woman. We just look at her from far away, amazed. We don’t dare get close to her. We’re just a bunch of farm boys.
I have always appreciated designers who dare to reinterpret fabrics and proportions, so I follow the Japanese and Belgian designers. The pieces are so animated. When they lie still, they are one thing, but once you stand them up or wear them, they become something else.
It must have been so impossible to think about it and dare to do that, so they feel compassionate for her. I don’t think the movie would work otherwise.
My colleagues made me play Truth & Dare & gave me a task that I have to stay in a room for 3 days. The room will be locked, there will be cameras all around & it’s gonna be live.
I wouldn’t even dare to sing like Ed Sheeran.

Nobody would dare to show Rajini sir in bad light through a film.
All of us should have free choice when it comes to patriotic displays… a government wisely acting within its bounds will earn loyalty and respect from its citizens. A government dare not demand the same.
Power is given only to those who dare to lower themselves and pick it up. Only one thing matters, one thing; to be able to dare!
Reality is the richest thing there is, the most important thing there is. Our imagination allows us to live an artificial life that is wonderful, extremely rich, but I don’t believe any artist would dare to say that artifice is better than real life.
I just feel like my audience is interested in anything that I do. Dare I say, even when I was making my science experiment videos, they lived for that.
People are racist about redheads in a way they’d never dare to be about black or Asian people.
I think we have great personalities in tennis, but I think they don’t dare anymore expressing their emotions and expressing who they are. It’s all about being politically correct all the time.
When I am putting looks together, I dare myself to make something work. I always look for the most interesting silhouette or something that’s a little off, but I have to figure it out. I have to make it me. I think that’s the thrill in fashion.
Academic freedom is being lost by a great many people who dare to challenge Darwinism. That’s a terrifying situation. That’s contrary to the principles of science.
I was such a big ‘Dirty Dozen,’ ‘Where Eagles Dare,’ ‘A Bridge Too Far’ – all those kinds of movies I loved.
I dare say that if most comedians today, the gifted ones, were to sit down and write, they’d learn more about their craft. But what happens is they get out there before they learn what their viewpoint is, if any.
Don’t hold on to the past; it won’t help in moving forward. Dare to dream big.
Funny is funny. I dare anyone to look at Tim Conway and Harvey Korman doing the dentist sketch, which is more than 40 years old, and not scream with laughter.

Far better is it to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs, even though checkered by failure… than to rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy nor suffer much, because they live in a gray twilight that knows not victory nor defeat.
One must work and dare if one really wants to live.
‘Sweet Valley High’ is fantastic, fabulous, a little bit campy, and – dare I say it – cinematic.
