There is great beauty in going through life without anxiety or fear. Half our fears are baseless, and the other half discreditable.

Repentance is not so much remorse for what we have done as the fear of the consequences.

Live your life that the fear of death can never enter your heart.

Hopeful thinking can get you out of your fear zone and into your appreciation zone.

Taking a new step, uttering a new word, is what people fear most.

There is a time to take counsel of your fears, and there is a time to never listen to any fear.

The regrets of yesterday and the fear of tomorrow can kill you.
