No one really knows why they are alive until they know what they'd die for.

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

If you are afraid of being lonely, don't try to be right.

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

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.

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

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

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

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.

When you are grateful, fear disappears and abundance appears.

When desire dies, fear is born.

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.

Be Fearful When Others Are Greedy and Greedy When Others Are Fearful

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

People living deeply have no fear of death.

A single death is a tragedy; a million deaths is a statistic.

For a man who has done his natural duty, death is as natural as sleep.

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

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.

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

Death may be the greatest of all human blessings.
