I could die for you. But I couldn't, and wouldn't, live for you.
You can only be afraid of what you think you know.
There is nothing to fear but fear itself.
The fear of criticism is at the bottom of the destruction of most ideas which never reach the planning and action stage.
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.
Courage is not the absence of fear it is inspiring others to move beyond it.
On the plus side, death is one of the few things that can be done just as easily lying down.
It is the job of thinking people not to be on the side of the executioners.
Each night, when I go to sleep, I die. And the next morning, when I wake up, I am reborn.
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.
It is not death that a man should fear, but he should fear never beginning to live.
Pride is an admission of weakness; it secretly fears all competition and dreads all rivals.
All we have to fear is fear itself.
It is better to be feared than loved, if you cannot be both.
For a man who has done his natural duty, death is as natural as sleep.
If a man hasn't discovered something he will die for, he isn't fit to live.
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.
Death makes angels of us all and gives us wings where we had shoulders smooth as ravens claws.
Death, so called, is a thing which makes men weep, And yet a third of life is pass'd in sleep.
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.
