Fear does not have any special power unless you empower it by submitting to it.

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

It does not take a majority of prevail... but rather an irate, tireless minority, keen on setting brushfires of freedom in the minds of men.

Opportunities don’t often come along. So, when they do, you have to grab them.

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

To make a contented slave it is necessary to make a thoughtless one. It is necessary to darken the moral and mental vision and, as far as possible, to annihilate the power of reason.

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.

He who possesses most must be most afraid of loss.

When you fear something, learn as much about it as you can. Knowledge conquers fear.

You must never be fearful about what you are doing when it is right.

Remember your dreams and fight for them. You must know what you want from life. There is just one thing that makes your dream become impossible: the fear of failure.

One can choose to go back toward safety or forward toward growth. Growth must be chosen again and again; fear must be overcome again and again.

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

Fear of serious injury cannot alone justify suppression of free speech and assembly. Men feared witches and burned women. It is the function of speech to free men from the bondage of irrational fears.

Never complain of that of which it is at all times in your power to rid yourself.

You are the only person who thinks in your mind. You are the power and authority in your world.

He who does not desire power is fit to hold it.

The primary imagination I hold to be the living power and prime agent of all human perception, and as a repetition in the finite mind of the eternal act of creation in the infinite I am.

Nowadays the world is becoming increasingly materialistic, and mankind is reaching toward the very zenith of external progress, driven by an insatiable desire for power and vast possessions. Yet by this vain striving for perfection in a world where everything is relative, they wander even further away from inward peace and happiness of the mind.
