No one really knows why they are alive until they know what they'd die for.

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

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

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

If you don't know how to live, why wonder about death?

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

Many people would sooner die than think; In fact, they do so.

Don't give in to your fears. If you do, you won't be able to talk to your heart.

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

When you cease to make a contribution you begin to die.

Its better to burn out than fade away.

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.

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

A thing is not necessarily true because a man dies for it.

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

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

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.

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.

On the plus side, death is one of the few things that can be done just as easily lying down.

It is the job of thinking people not to be on the side of the executioners.
