The real malady is fear of life, not death.

You gain strength, courage, and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face.

We are living in a world of fear. The life of man today is corroded and made bitter by fear-fear of the future, fear of the hydrogen bomb, fear of ideologies. Perhaps this fear is a greater danger than the danger itself, because it is fear which drives men to act foolishly to act thoughtlessly, to act dangerously.

He who accuses another of being an evil person says so because he is afraid of him.

If I ever felt inclined to be timid as I was going into a room hill of people, I would say to myself, "You're the cleverest member of one of the cleverest families in the cleverest class of the cleverest nation in the world-why should you be frightened?"
