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

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

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

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

People living deeply have no fear of death.

It is often said that before you die your life passes before your eyes. It is in fact true. It's called living.

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

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

You can only be afraid of what you think you know.

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.

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

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

Death may be the greatest of all human blessings.

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

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

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

Tell your heart that the fear of suffering is worse than the suffering itself. And that no heart has ever suffered when it goes in search of its dreams, because every second of the search is a second's encounter with God and with eternity.

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.

Pride is an admission of weakness; it secretly fears all competition and dreads all rivals.

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.

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