If you don't know how to live, why wonder about death?
Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.
Don't give in to your fears. If you do, you won't be able to talk to your heart.

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

Life and death are one thread, the same line viewed from different sides.
I learned that courage was not the absence of fear, but the triumph over it. The brave man is not he who does not feel afraid, but he who conquers that fear.
A thing is not necessarily true because a man dies for it.
People living deeply have no fear of death.
Many people would sooner die than think; In fact, they do so.
For a man who has done his natural duty, death is as natural as sleep.
It is better to be feared than loved, if you cannot be both.
