Knowledge is the antidote to fear.

Remember that fear always lurks behind perfectionism. Confronting your fears and allowing yourself the right to be human can, paradoxically, make you a far happier and more productive person.

Fear is a question: What are you afraid of, and why? Just as the seed of health is in illness, because illness contains information, your fears are a treasure house of self-knowledge if you explore them.

Fear gives intelligence even to fools.

With integrity, you have nothing to fear, since you have nothing to hide.

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

If you know the enemy and know yourself you need not fear the results of a hundred battles.

Obstacles are like wild animals. They are cowards but they will bluff you if they can. If they see you are afraid of them, they are liable to spring upon you; but if you look them squarely in the eye, they will sink out of sight.

Don't be afraid to give up the good to go for the great.

No man can reveal to you aught but that which already lies half asleep in the dawning of your knowledge.

When I examine myself and my methods of thought, I come to the conclusion that the gift of fantasy has meant more to me than my talent for absorbing positive knowledge.

If a man empties his purse into his head, no man can take it away from him. An investment in knowledge always pays the best interest.

When you know a thing, to hold that you know it; and when you do not know a thing. To allow that you do not know it—this is knowledge.
