Fears are like paper tigers.

In this age, the man who dares to think for himself and to act independently does a service to his race.

You will never do anything in this world without courage. It is the greatest quality of the mind next to honor.

If things seem under control, you are just not going fast enough.

Be brave. Take risks. Nothing can substitute experience.

I'm an old man and have known a great many troubles, but most of them have never happened.

Let the fear of danger be a spur to prevent it; he that fears not, gives advantage to the danger.

Where there is charity and wisdom, there is neither fear nor ignorance. Where there is patience and humility, there is neither anger nor vexation. Where there is poverty and joy, there is neither greed nor avarice. Where there is peace and meditation, there is neither anxiety nor doubt.

I have learned over the years that when one's mind is made up, this diminishes fear; knowing what must be done does away with fear.
