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

If something is wrong, fix it now. But train yourself not to worry, worry fixes nothing!

Fear cannot be without hope nor hope without fear.

Our repentance is not so much regret for the ill we have done as fear of the ill that may happen to us in consequence.

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

...the individual ceases to be himself; he adopts entirely the kind of personality offered to him by cultural patterns; and he therefore becomes exactly as all others are and as they expect him to be...The person who gives up his individual self and becomes an automaton, identical with millions of other automatons around him, need not feel alone and anxious any more. But the price he pays, however, is high; it is the loss of his self.

He who fears the sun will not become chief.

At the center of your being you have the answer; you know who you are and you know what you want.

The true worth is not to be found in man himself, but in the colors and texture that come alive in others.

If everyone was satisfied with himself, there would be no heroes.

Emotions are inherent in your nature, but their content is dictated by your mind.

A man has to learn that he cannot command things, but that he can command himself; that he cannot coerce the wills of others, but that he can mold and master his own will: and things serve him who serves Truth; people seek guidance of him who is master of himself.
