Yes, you are right.

But I didn't understand.

So, I am asking again.

Be bold, everywhere be bold, but be not bowled over.

Bold : fearless and daring
Bowled over: To be totally surprised OR to be knocked down

Be fearless, be fearless wherever you are, but do not be knocked down (either physically or emotionally)

Does this make it any clearer?

IT is hard to work out the exact meaning - I think this sentence is essentially intended to create humour through the fact that 'bold' and 'bowled' sound the same.

Nona, I agree - the more I have thought about this one, the less it made sense, except as a pun.
