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.
The fear of death follows from the fear of life. A man who lives fully is prepared to die at any time.
Fear is pain arising from the anticipation of evil.
Love never dies a natural death. It dies because we don't know how to replenish its source. It dies of blindness and errors and betrayals. It dies of illness and wounds; it dies of weariness, of witherings, of tarnishings.
Don't give in to your fears. If you do, you won't be able to talk to your heart.
Absolute silence leads to sadness. It is the image of death.
When you cease to make a contribution you begin to die.
Death and love are the two wings that bear the good man to heaven.
In Heaven, all the interesting people are missing.
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.
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.
Fear is not an unknown emotion to us.
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.
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.
Death, so called, is a thing which makes men weep, And yet a third of life is pass'd in sleep.
A man who fears suffering is already suffering from what he fears.
When desire dies, fear is born.
Be Fearful When Others Are Greedy and Greedy When Others Are Fearful
One is never afraid of the unknown; one is afraid of the known coming to an end.
For a man who has done his natural duty, death is as natural as sleep.
Could any death be so horrible as birth? Or any decrepitude so awful as childhood in a happy united God-fearing family?
