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

It is often said that before you die your life passes before your eyes. It is in fact true. It's called living.

One is never afraid of the unknown; one is afraid of the known coming to an end.
In the blackest of your moments, wait with no fear.
It's not that I'm afraid to die, I just don't want to be there when it happens.
Death may be the greatest of all human blessings.
Death makes angels of us all and gives us wings where we had shoulders smooth as ravens claws.
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.
No power is strong enough to be lasting if it labors under the weight of fear.
You can conquer almost any fear if you will only make up your mind to do so. For remember, fear doesn't exist anywhere except in the mind.
A single death is a tragedy; a million deaths is a statistic.
Death, so called, is a thing which makes men weep, And yet a third of life is pass'd in sleep.
If we have been pleased with life, we should not be displeased with death, since it comes from the hand of the same master.
