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.

Death may be the greatest of all human blessings.

Tell your friend that in his death, a part of you dies and goes with him. Wherever he goes, you also go. He will not be alone.

A man who fears suffering is already suffering from what he fears.

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

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

Our strength lies in our intensive attacks and our barbarity...After all, who today remembers the genocide of the Armenians?

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.

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

If you are afraid of being lonely, don't try to be right.

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

It is the cause, not the death, that makes the martyr.

Absolute silence leads to sadness. It is the image of death.

If a man hasn't discovered something he will die for, he isn't fit to live.

Could any death be so horrible as birth? Or any decrepitude so awful as childhood in a happy united God-fearing family?

There is no hope unmingled with fear, and no fear unmingled with hope.

A coward dies a thousand deaths... a soldier dies but once.

The fear of criticism is at the bottom of the destruction of most ideas which never reach the planning and action stage.

It's not that I'm afraid to die, I just don't want to be there when it happens.

He who controls the past controls the future. He who controls the present controls the past.

There is nothing to fear but fear itself.
