“Fear not, we are of the nature of the lion, and cannot descend to the destruction of mice and such small beasts.”

“Living with fear stops us taking risks, and if you don’t go out on the branch, you’re never going to get the best fruit.”

“I learned that courage was not the absence of fear, but the triumph over it. The brave man is not he who does not feel afraid, but he who conquers that fear.”

“One of the greatest discoveries a man makes, one of his great surprises, is to find he can do what he was afraid he couldn’t do.” 

“Fears are nothing more than a state of mind.” 

“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.” 

“Nothing in life is to be feared, it is only to be understood. Now is the time to understand more, so that we may fear less.”
