I've had a lot of worries in my life, most of which never happened.

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

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

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.

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.

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

Feeling sorry for yourself, and your present condition, is not only a waste of energy but the worst habit you could possibly have.

Some of the worst things in my life never happened.
