[W]e now know that the human animal is
characterized by two great fears that other animals are protected from: the

being-in-the-world. That is, both fear of death and fear of life, of experience
and individuation.

information, your fears are a treasure house of self-knowledge if you explore
them.
Anne Frank:
The best remedy for those who are afraid, lonely or

nature.
Benjamin Franklin:
Do not fear mistakes. You will know failure.

punishment.

Only I will remain.

sense of now, and dissolve the fear in our minds.
William James:
The greatest weapon against stress is our ability
to choose one thought over another.
William James:
The voluntary path to cheerfulness, if our
spontaneous cheerfulness be lost, is to sit up cheerfully, and act and speak as
if cheerfulness were already there. To feel brave, act as if we were brave, use
all our will to that end, and courage will very likely replace fear.
Javan

because, if there be one, he must more approve of the homage of reason, than
that of blind-folded fear.

leaving only what is truly important.

to take it away from us.

they are separated.

flood of fear.

silent when we should speak, the divine floods of light and life no longer flow

but around in awareness.
Eckhart Tolle:
Fear arises through identification with form,
whether it be a material possession, a physical body, a social role, a
self-image, a thought, or an emotion. It arises through unawareness of the
formless inner dimension of consciousness or spirit, which is the essence of
who you are. You are trapped in object consciousness, unaware of the dimension
of inner space which alone is true freedom.
Eckhart Tolle:
Thinking, or more precisely identification with
thinking, gives rise to and maintains the ego, which, in our Western society in
particular, is out of control. It believes it is real and tries hard to
maintain its supremacy. Negative states
of mind, such as anger, resentment, fear, envy, and jealousy, are products of
the ego.
Eckhart Tolle
Internal and external are ultimately one. When you
no longer perceive the world as hostile, there is no more fear, and when there
is no more fear, you think, speak and act differently. Love and compassion
arise, and they affect the world.
Eckhart Tolle
When even one American - who has done nothing wrong
- is forced by fear to shut his mind and close his mouth - then all Americans
are in peril.

learned here.
Marianne Williamson:

deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our
darkness that most frightens us.

I choose to rise up out of that storm and see that
in moments of desperation, fear, and helplessness, each of us can be a rainbow
of hope, doing what we can to extend ourselves in kindness and grace to one
another. And I know for sure that there is no them.. there's only us.
Oprah Winfrey:
I believe that every single event in life happens
in an opportunity to choose love over fear.
Oprah Winfrey:
The thing you fear most has no power. Your fear of
it is what has the power. Facing the truth really will set you free.
Virginia Woolf:
The beauty of the world has two edges, one of
laughter, one of anguish, cutting the heart asunder.
Paramahansa Yogananda
Be afraid of nothing. Hating none, giving love to
all, feeling the love of God, seeing His presence in everyone, and having one
desire - for His constant presence in the temple of your consciousness - that
is the way to live in this world.
Paramahansa Yogananda
Remain calm, serene, always in command of yourself. You will then find out how
easy it is to get along.
Xun Zi
In order to properly understand the big picture,
everyone should fear becoming mentally clouded and obsessed with one small
section of truth.
Emilie Zola
The fate of animals is of greater importance to me
than the fear of appearing ridiculous; it is indissolubly connected with the
fate of men.
