Nothing in life is to be feared. It is only to be understood.

The truth that many people never understand, until it is too late, is that the more that you try to avoid suffering, the more you suffer, because smaller and more insignificant things begin to torture you in proportion to your fear of being hurt.
- Thomas Merton

Every man is scared in his first battle. If he says he's not, he's a liar. Some men are cowards but they fight the same as the brave men or they get the hell slammed out of them watching men fight who are just as scared as they are. The real hero is the man who fights even though he is scared.
- General George S. Patton

Don't fear a man with an arsenal of bombs - Fear the man who only wants one.

"Come to the edge."
"We can't. We're afraid."
"Come to the edge."
"We can't. We will fall!"
"Come to the edge."

And he pushed them.
And they flew.


- Guillaume Apollinaire, 1880-1918, French Poet, Philosopher

"With a strong heart and a ready mind what have I to fear?"
- Chu Yuan, aka Qu Yuan, Chinese politician-turned-poet, c.300BC

OUR DEEPEST FEARS
Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate.
Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us.
We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?
Actually, who are you not to be?
You are a child of God.
Your playing small does not serve the world.
There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you.
We are all meant to shine, as children do.
We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It is not just in some of us; it is in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same.
As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.

- MARIANNE WILLIAMSON
