No power so effectually robs the mind of all its powers of acting and reasoning as fear.
Fear is pain arising from the anticipation of evil.
You can only be afraid of what you think you know.
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.
Life and death are one thread, the same line viewed from different sides.
Many people would sooner die than think; In fact, they do so.
For a man who has done his natural duty, death is as natural as sleep.
A coward dies a thousand deaths... a soldier dies but once.
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.
I believe that every single event in life happens in an opportunity to choose love over fear.
I do not see why man should not be just as cruel as nature
He who controls the past controls the future. He who controls the present controls the past.
Death may be the greatest of all human blessings.
It is the cause, not the death, that makes the martyr.
Pride is an admission of weakness; it secretly fears all competition and dreads all rivals.
No one really knows why they are alive until they know what they'd die for.
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.
There is no hope unmingled with fear, and no fear unmingled with hope.
It is the job of thinking people not to be on the side of the executioners.
Don't give in to your fears. If you do, you won't be able to talk to your heart.
