Through every generation of the human race there has been a constant war, a war with fear. Those who have the courage to conquer it are made free.
Courage is knowing what not to fear.
I have learned over the years that when one's mind is made up, this diminishes fear.
No one is so brave that he is not disturbed by something unexpected.
Nothing in life is to be feared, it is only to be understood. Now is the time to understand more, so that we may fear less.
We should all start to live before we get too old. Fear is stupid. So are regrets.
Courage is resistance to fear, mastery of fear, not absence of fear.
It's okay to lose to opponent. It's never okay to lose to 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.
Fear is the mother of all gods.
Death is nothing to us, since when we are, death has not come, and when death has come, we are not.
The only thing we have to fear is fear itself - nameless, unreasoning, unjustified terror which paralyzes needed efforts to convert retreat into advance.
Terror consists mostly of useless cruelties perpetrated by frightened people in order to reassure themselves.
What we fear doing most is usually what we most need to do.
What would you do if you weren't afraid?
It is better to be feared than loved, if you cannot be both.
We suffer more often in imagination than in reality.
