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.
A thing is not necessarily true because a man dies for it.
Fear is not an unknown emotion to us.
A man who fears suffering is already suffering from what he fears.
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.
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.
When desire dies, fear is born.
It's stasis that kills you off in the end, not ambition.
Could any death be so horrible as birth? Or any decrepitude so awful as childhood in a happy united God-fearing family?
Pride is an admission of weakness; it secretly fears all competition and dreads all rivals.
If we have been pleased with life, we should not be displeased with death, since it comes from the hand of the same master.
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.
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 do not see why man should not be just as cruel as nature
Many people would sooner die than think; In fact, they do so.
The fear of death follows from the fear of life. A man who lives fully is prepared to die at any time.
If a man hasn't discovered something he will die for, he isn't fit to live.
I could die for you. But I couldn't, and wouldn't, live for you.
Im the one who's gonna die when its 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.
Life and death are one thread, the same line viewed from different sides.
