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.
Its better to burn out than fade away.
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.
Death is caused by swallowing small amounts of saliva over a long period of time.
Death makes angels of us all and gives us wings where we had shoulders smooth as ravens claws.
If you die you're completely happy and your soul somewhere lives on. Im not afraid of dying. Total peace after death, becoming someone else is the best hope I've got.
Death may be the greatest of all human blessings.
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.
He who controls the past controls the future. He who controls the present controls the past.
Don't give in to your fears. If you do, you won't be able to talk to your heart.
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.
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.
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.
If we have been pleased with life, we should not be displeased with death, since it comes from the hand of the same master.
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.
It's not that I'm afraid to die, I just don't want to be there when it happens.
It is the job of thinking people not to be on the side of the executioners.
There is no hope unmingled with fear, and no fear unmingled with hope.
I believe that every single event in life happens in an opportunity to choose love over fear.
Death, so called, is a thing which makes men weep, And yet a third of life is pass'd in sleep.
