Act with courage and dignity; stick to the ideals that give meaning to life.

Fear is a reaction. Courage is a decision.

We must build dikes of courage to hold back the flood of fear.

Life can be wonderful if you're not afraid of it. All it needs is courage, imagination ... and a little dough.

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

There are two basic motivating forces: fear and love. When we are afraid, we pull back from life. When we are in love, we open to all that life has to offer with passion, excitement, and acceptance. We need to learn to love ourselves first, in all our glory and our imperfections. If we cannot love ourselves, we cannot fully open to our ability to love others or our potential to create. Evolution and all hopes for a better world rest in the fearlessness and open-hearted vision of people who embrace life.
