He who controls the past controls the future. He who controls the present controls the past.

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

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

When you cease to make a contribution you begin to die.

In Heaven, all the interesting people are missing.

There is nothing to fear but fear itself.

The constant assertion of belief is an indication of fear.

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.

Death may be the greatest of all human blessings.

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.

Pride is an admission of weakness; it secretly fears all competition and dreads all rivals.

The fear of death follows from the fear of life. A man who lives fully is prepared to die at any time.

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

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

A coward dies a thousand deaths... a soldier dies but once.

Tell your heart that the fear of suffering is worse than the suffering itself. And that no heart has ever suffered when it goes in search of its dreams, because every second of the search is a second's encounter with God and with eternity.

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

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

A man who fears suffering is already suffering from what he fears.

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

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.
