It's stasis that kills you off in the end, not ambition.

I do not see why man should not be just as cruel as nature

Character building begins in our infancy, and continues until death.

No power is strong enough to be lasting if it labors under the weight of fear.

No power so effectually robs the mind of all its powers of acting and reasoning as fear.

It is better to be feared than loved, if you cannot be both.

I could die for you. But I couldn't, and wouldn't, live for you.

Love never dies a natural death. It dies because we don't know how to replenish its source. It dies of blindness and errors and betrayals. It dies of illness and wounds; it dies of weariness, of witherings, of tarnishings.

I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.

There is no hope unmingled with fear, and no fear unmingled with hope.

Fear is not an unknown emotion to us.

It's not that I'm afraid to die, I just don't want to be there when it happens.

Every man's life ends the same way. It is only the details of how he lived and how he died that distinguish one man from another.

People living deeply have no fear of death.

Life and death are one thread, the same line viewed from different sides.

I'm the one that has to die when it's time for me to die, so let me live my life, the way I want to.

Death makes angels of us all and gives us wings where we had shoulders smooth as ravens claws.

The fear of criticism is at the bottom of the destruction of most ideas which never reach the planning and action stage.

I believe that every single event in life happens in an opportunity to choose love over fear.

It is the job of thinking people not to be on the side of the executioners.

In Heaven, all the interesting people are missing.
