Be just and fear not.

Cowards die many times before their deaths; the valiant never taste of death but once.

Amid the seeming confusion of our mysterious world, individuals are so nicely adjusted to a system, and systems to one another and to a whole, that, by stepping aside for a moment, a man exposes himself to a fearful risk of losing his place forever.

I do not fear death. I had been dead for billions and billions of years before I was born, and not suffered the slightest inconvenience from it.

Fear gives intelligence even to fools.

The better you are at communicating negotiating, and handling your fear of rejection, the easier life is.

The chief danger in life is that you may take too many precautions.

A thief is a man in need. A liar is a man in fear.

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.

Do not peer too far.

Men in general judge more from appearances than from reality. All men have eyes, but few have the gift of penetration.

You shall judge of a man by his foes as well as by his friends.

To live is in itself a value judgment. To breathe is to judge.

Critics are men who watch a battle from a high place the come down and shoot the survivors.

Nobody likes the man who brings bad news.

There is but one thing of real value—to cultivate truth and justice, and to live without anger in the midst of lying and unjust men.

If everyone were clothed with integrity, if every heart were just, frank, kindly, the other virtues would be well-nigh unless, since their chief purpose is to make us bear with patience the injustice of our fellows.

My experience has shown me that we win justice quickest by rendering justice to the other party.

Wherever there is injustice, war, discrimination against women, gays and the disadvantaged, I did my best to show up and exert moral persuasion.

It is certain, in any case, that ignorance, allied with power, is the most ferocious enemy justice can have.

The first requisite of civilization is that of justice.

Justice cannot be for one side alone, but must be for both.

Where justice is denied, where poverty is enforced, where ignorance prevails, and where any one class is made to feel that society is an organized conspiracy to oppress, rob, and degrade them, neither person nor property will be safe.

Anyone who has the power to make you believe absurdities has the power to make you commit injustices.

Why should there not be a patient confidence in the ultimate justice of the people? Is there any better or equal hope in the world?

Every kind of peaceful cooperation among men is primarily based on mutual trust and only secondarily on institutions such as courts of justice and police.

Mercy to the guilty is cruelty to the innocent.

Were it offered to my choice, I should have no objection to a repetition of the same life from its beginning, only asking the advantages authors have in a second edition to correct some faults in the first.

Do not stop thinking of life as an adventure. You have no security unless you live bravely, excitingly, imaginatively.

Sometimes I wonder whether the world is being run by smart people who are putting us on, or by imbeciles who really man it.

Some people die at age 25 and aren't buried until they are 75.

The day you stop caring what other people think of you, is the day your life begins.

He that hunts others, must run himself.

Loosen up. Life is a lesson. Learn from it and progress on!

Think not disdainfully of death, but look on it with favor; for even dearth is one of the things that Nature wills.

Reality doesn't go away when it is ignored.

Life does not consist of facts. It consists mainly of the storm of thoughts that is forever flowing through one's head.
