When desire dies, fear is born.

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

All we have to fear is fear itself.

The best remedy for those who are afraid, lonely or unhappy is to go outside, somewhere where they can be quiet, alone with the heavens, nature and God. Because only then does one feel that all is as it should be.

A man who is not afraid is not aggressive, a man who has no sense of fear of any kind is really a free, a peaceful man.

You can only be afraid of what you think you know.

Absolute silence leads to sadness. It is the image of death.

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.

Could any death be so horrible as birth? Or any decrepitude so awful as childhood in a happy united God-fearing family?

If you don't know how to live, why wonder about death?

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

It is not death that a man should fear, but he should fear never beginning to live.

Fear not death for the sooner we die, the longer we shall be immortal.

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

On the plus side, death is one of the few things that can be done just as easily lying down.

There is nothing to fear but fear itself.

There is only one thing that makes a dream impossible to achieve: the fear of failure.

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.

Don't give in to your fears. If you do, you won't be able to talk to your heart.

People living deeply have no fear of death.

If a man hasn't discovered something he will die for, he isn't fit to live.
