Fear is a reaction. Courage is a decision.

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

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.

Just as courage is the danger of life, so is fear its safeguard.

Through every generation of the human race there has been a constant war, a war with fear. Those who have the courage to conquer it are made free and those who are conquered by it are made to suffer until they have the courage to defeat it, or death takes them.

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