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

There would be nothing to frighten you if you refused to be afraid.

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

Have no fear of the future. Let us go forward into its mysteries, tear away the veils which hide it from our eyes, and move onwards with confidence and courage.

The moment you fear, you are nobody.

You cannot tell from appearances how things will go. Sometimes imagination makes things out far worse than they are; yet without imagination not much can be done. Those people who are imaginative see many more dangers than perhaps exist; certainly many more than will happen; but then they must also pray to be given that extra courage to carry this far-reaching imagination.
