from MEASURE FOR MEASURE
Our doubts are traitors
And make us lose the good we oft might win By fearing to attempt.
William Shakespeare
These words come from William Shakespeare’s play Measure for Measure (written in either 1603 or 1604), and are spoken by the character Lucio, who tells us that
our doubts and fears work against us, and deprive us of the good things we might otherwise experience. Shakespeare knew that our fear of failure was our enemy.
