If it's about a man approaching a woman, 'Faint heart never won fair lady.' But that isn't apt in the general sense. A poet (Longfellow? Wordsworth?) said
A man's reach should exceed his grasp
Or what's a Heaven for?
Sometimes I quote that.
'Having the courage of your convictions' is often reduced to monetary terms: 'Put your money where your mouth is'.
But I don't think we've got anything else as good as the Italian.
