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

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

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.

One is never afraid of the unknown; one is afraid of the known coming to an end.

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

We should never negotiate out of fear, but we should never fear to negotiate.

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

Fear is not an unknown emotion to us.

There is only one thing that makes a dream impossible to achieve: the fear of failure.

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.

It is the cause, not the death, that makes the martyr.

All we have to fear is fear itself.

If a man hasn't discovered something he will die for, he isn't fit to live.

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

I'm the one that has to die when it's time for me to die, so let me live my life, the way I want to.

Death, so called, is a thing which makes men weep, And yet a third of life is pass'd in sleep.

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

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

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

A man who is not afraid is not aggressive, a man who has no sense of fear of any kind is really a free, a peaceful man.

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