I'm an old man and have known a great many troubles, but most of them have never happened.

Don't give in to your fears. If you do, you won't be able to talk to your heart.

He who possesses most must be most afraid of loss.

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.

The individual has always had to struggle to keep from being overwhelmed by the tribe. If you try it, you will be lonely often, and sometimes frightened. But no price is too high to pay for the privilege of owning yourself.

If a man will begin with certainties, he shall end in doubts; but if he will be content to begin with doubts he shall end in certainties.

Fear gives intelligence even to fools.

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.
