Put together a seaman, soldier and airman and what do you get? The sum of all fears.

I had to confront my fears and master my every demonic thought about inferiority, insecurity, or the fear of being black, young, and gifted in this Western culture.

The brave man is not the one who has no fears, he is the one who triumphs over his fears.

A degree of culture, and assuredly a very high one, is attained when man rises above superstitions and religious notions and fears, and, for instance, no longer believes in guardian angels or in original sin, and has also ceased to talk of the salvation of his soul.

He who fears being conquered is sure of defeat.

Fear is a reaction. Courage is a decision.
