I'm not funny. What I am is brave.

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.

I've been absolutely terrified every moment of my life—and I've never let it keep me from doing a single thing I wanted to do.

Be brave. Take risks. Nothing can substitute experience.

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.

You don’t develop courage by being happy in your relationships everyday. You develop it by surviving difficult times and challenging adversity.

Two of the hardest tests in life: The patience to wait for the right moment and the courage to accept whatever you encounter.

Great is he, who conquers the frightful. Sublime is he, who, while succumbing to it, fears it not.

Fear gives intelligence even to fools.

If you want to conquer fear, don't sit home and think about it. Go out and get busy.

If you listen to your fears, you will die never knowing what a great person you might have been.

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

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