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

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

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.

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

There is nothing to fear but fear itself.

Where there is no freedom, there is death and destruction.

All we have to fear is fear itself.

If we have been pleased with life, we should not be displeased with death, since it comes from the hand of the same master.

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

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.

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.

I could die for you. But I couldn't, and wouldn't, live for you.

Tell your friend that in his death, a part of you dies and goes with him. Wherever he goes, you also go. He will not be alone.

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.

Death and love are the two wings that bear the good man to heaven.

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

In Heaven, all the interesting people are missing.

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

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

A thing is not necessarily true because a man dies for it.

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