The more I traveled the more I realized that fear makes strangers of people who should be friends.

Learning is the only thing the mind never exhausts, never fears, and never regrets.

If you want to conquer fear, don't sit home and think about it. Go out and get busy.

He who has overcome his fears will truly be free.

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

Some people live as though they are already dead. There are people moving around us who are consumed by their past, terrified of their future, and stuck in their anger and jealousy. They are not alive; they are just walking corpses.

Revenge and retaliation always perpetuate the cycle of anger, fear and violence.

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.

Don't waste life in doubts and fears; spend yourself on the work before you, well assured that the right performance of this hour's duties will be the best preparation for the hours and ages that will follow it.

For friendship, like freedom, must be tended.

Give us grace and strength to forbear and to persevere. Give us courage and gaiety and the quiet mind, spare to us our friends, soften to us our enemies.

Keep company only with people who uplift you, whose presence calls forth your best.

Every heart sings a song incomplete, until another heart whispers back.
