James Branch Cabell

I fear chiefly lest my expression may not be extravagant enough, may not wander far enough beyond the narrow limit of my daily experience, so as to be adequate to the truth of which I have been convinced. Extravagance! it depends on how you are yarded.

The fear of death follows from the fear of life. A man who lives fully is prepared to die at any time.

What we fear doing most is usually what we most need to do.

Courage is resistance to fear, mastery of fear, not absense of fear.

Do the thing you fear most and the death of fear is certain.

In modern business it is not the crook who is to be feared most, it is the honest man who doesn’t know what he is doing.

Don’t ever make decisions based on fear. Make decisions based on hope and possibility. Make decisions based on what should happen, not what shouldn’t.

Fear came in so much in my life that it did everything but completely stop me.

My greatest fear is getting bored.

Fear is primarily a creation of the mind. I create it in my mind-it doesn’t really exist outside the mind. I can dissolve it there as well. – John Mackey

Don’t be afraid of fear. Because it sharpens you, it challenges you, it makes you stronger; and when you run away from fear, you also run away from the opportunity to be your best possible self.

Fear is the path to the dark side. Fear leads to anger. Anger leads to hate. Hate leads to suffering.

I am pretty fearless. You know why? Because I don’t handle fear very well; I’m not a good terrified person.

Fear is static that prevents me from hearing myself.

Man cannot possess anything as long as he fears death. But to him who does not fear it, everything belongs. If there was no suffering, man would not know his limits, would not know himself.
