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.

He who fears being conquered is sure of defeat.

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

Fear is a reaction. Courage is a decision.

I don't like standing near the edge of a platform when an express train is passing through. I like to stand right back and if possible get a pillar between me and the train. I don't like to stand by the side of a ship and look down into the water. A second's action would end everything. A few drops of desperation.
