Perhaps this is what you're looking for?

For eachFix a sequence $t>0$,$t_n \downarrow 0$ and some $B_t/\sqrt{t}$$k > 0$ and let $A_n = \{ \sup_{0 < t < t_n} B_t/\sqrt{t} \ge k\}$. Since $B_{t_n}/\sqrt{t_n}$ has a standard normal distribution. Therefore for any $k$, we have $\mathbb{P}(B_t/\sqrt{t} \ge k) = 1-\Phi(k) > 0$$$\mathbb{P}(A_k) \ge \mathbb{P}(B_{t_n}/\sqrt{t_n} \ge k) = 1-\Phi(k) > 0$$ where $\Phi$ is the standard normal cdf. So if we fix a sequence

Now $t_n \downarrow 0$ and let$A_1 \supseteq A_2 \supseteq \cdots$ so if $X = \limsup_{t_n \downarrow 0} B_{t_n}/\sqrt{t_n}$$A = \bigcap_n A_n$, then by "continuity from above" we have $\mathbb{P}(X \ge k) \ge 1-\Phi(k) > 0$.$$\mathbb{P}(A) = \lim_{n \to \infty} \mathbb{P}(A_n) \ge 1-\Phi(k) > 0.$$ But by$A$ is in the "germ field" $\mathcal{F}_0^+$ so the Blumenthal 0-1 law, $X$ is almost surely constant, so says we must have $X \ge k$ almost surely$\mathbb{P}(A) = 1$. Now On the event $A$ we have $\sup_{0 < t < 1} B_t/\sqrt{t} \ge k$, and $k$ was arbitrary so $X = +\infty$ almost surely. In particular, so almost surely, we have $\sup_{t > 0} B_t/\sqrt{t} = +\infty$$\sup_{0 < t < 1} B_t/\sqrt{t} = +\infty$.
