Default Allegories

I'm trying to find a website containing allegories. Can anyone suggest any sites? I'm looking for one particularly about taking risks and steps of faith in life, and not being afraid of change.

If anyone can offer anything, thanks!

IMO, you'll have an easier time drawing from a writer's almanac. There are plenty of sites with notable quotations.

Or you could go back to the classics: Aesop's fables. Sun Tzu, etc.

Aesop's Fables are some good reads redundant though

Sun Tzu is good too

Looks like Aesop isn't the only redundant one :chuckles:
