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

No power so effectually robs the mind of all its powers of acting and reasoning as fear.

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.

All we have to fear is fear itself.

Character building begins in our infancy, and continues until death.

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

There is nothing to fear but fear itself.

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

Death makes angels of us all and gives us wings where we had shoulders smooth as ravens claws.

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

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

An insincere and evil friend is more to be feared than a wild beast; a wild beast may wound your body, but an evil friend will wound your mind.

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

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