No power so effectually robs the mind of all its powers of acting and reasoning as fear.
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.
Each night, when I go to sleep, I die. And the next morning, when I wake up, I am reborn.
A man who fears suffering is already suffering from what he fears.
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 is the job of thinking people not to be on the side of the executioners.
Character building begins in our infancy, and continues until death.
Death makes angels of us all and gives us wings where we had shoulders smooth as ravens claws.
All we have to fear is fear itself.
You can only be afraid of what you think you know.
Could any death be so horrible as birth? Or any decrepitude so awful as childhood in a happy united God-fearing family?
When you are grateful, fear disappears and abundance appears.
Absolute silence leads to sadness. It is the image of death.
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.
The fear of death follows from the fear of life. A man who lives fully is prepared to die at any time.
When you cease to make a contribution you begin to die.
There is nothing to fear but fear itself.
On the plus side, death is one of the few things that can be done just as easily lying down.
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.
If you are afraid of being lonely, don't try to be right.
