“Hate is the consequence of fear; we fear something before we hate it; a child who fears noises becomes a man who hates noise.”
Cyril Connolly
“All I worried about was what (Owings) was doing to me, instead of what I was doing to him. When you start worrying about that stuff, you're going down the wrong path.”
Dan Gable
“The fear of death follows from the fear of life. A man who lives fully is prepared to die at any time.”
Mark Twain
“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, and fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small doesn't serve the world. There's nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We are born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us, it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.”
Marianne Williamson
“Rather perish than hate and fear, and twice rather perish than make oneself hated and feared -- this must some day become the highest maxim for every single commonwealth.”
Friedrich Nietzsche
“Fear is the path to the dark side. Fear leads to anger. Anger leads to hate. Hate leads to suffering.”
Yoda
“Human beings are born with just two basic fears. One is the fear of loud noises. The other is the fear of falling. All other fears must be learned.”
Ronald Rood
