I hasten to laugh at everything, for fear of being obliged to weep.

A child understands fear, and the hurt and hate it brings.

To fight fear, act. To increase fear - wait, put off postpone.

Show me a guy who's afraid to look bad, and I'll show you a guy you can beat every time.

No good work is ever done while the heart is hot and anxious and fretted.

We consume our tomorrows fretting about our yesterdays.

I think what weakens people most is fear of wasting their strength.

If you let your fear of consequence prevent you from following your deepest instinct, your life will be safe, expedient and thin.

I am convinced that it is not the fear of death, of our lives ending that haunts our sleep so much as the fear... that as far as the world is concerned, we might as well never have lived.

When we are afraid we ought not to occupy ourselves with endeavoring to prove that there is no danger, but in strengthening ourselves to go on in spite of the danger.
