Ignore those that make you fearful and sad, that degrade you back towards disease and death.
Quote by -Rumi
A man is not called wise because he talks and talks again; but if he is peaceful, loving and fearless then he is in truth called wise
Quote by -Buddha
Take someone who doesn’t keep score, who’s not looking to be richer, or afraid of losing, who has not the slightest interest even in his own personality: he’s free.
Quote by -Rumi
The Prophets accept all agony and trust it. For the water has never feared the fire.
Quote by -Rumi
On what is fear: Non-acceptance of uncertainty. If we accept that uncertainty, it becomes an adventure!
Quote by -Rumi
Run from what’s comfortable. Forget safety. Live where you fear to live. Destroy your reputation. Be notorious. I have tried prudent planning long enough. From now on I’ll be mad.
Quote by -Rumi
A mind unruffled by the vagaries of fortune, from sorrow freed, from defilements cleansed, from fear liberated — this is the greatest blessing.
Quote by -Buddha
All tremble at violence; all fear death. Putting oneself in the place of another, one should not kill nor cause another to kill.
Quote by -Buddha
“Idolatry is committed, not merely by setting up false gods, but also by setting up false devils; by making men afraid of war or alcohol, or economic law, when they should be afraid of spiritual corruption and cowardice.”
Quote by -Gilbert K Chesterton
“For fear of the newspapers politicians are dull, and at last they are too dull even for the newspapers.”
Quote by -Gilbert K Chesterton
“The Declaration of Independence dogmatically bases all rights on the fact that God created all men equal; and it is right; for if they were not created equal, they were certainly evolved unequal. There is no basis for democracy except in a dogma about the divine origin of man.”
Quote by -Gilbert K Chesterton
“Most modern freedom is at root fear. It is not so much that we are too bold to endure rules; it is rather that we are too timid to endure responsibilities.”
Quote by -Gilbert K Chesterton
All you have to do is hold your first soldier who is dying in your arms, and have that terribly futile feeling that I can't do anything about it... Then you understand the horror of war.
Quote by -Norman Schwarzkopf
True courage is being afraid, and going ahead and doing your job anyhow, that's what courage is.
Quote by -Norman Schwarzkopf
“True courage is being afraid, and going ahead and doing your job anyhow, that's what courage is.”
Quote by -Norman Schwarzkopf
“she seemed both proud and scared that I was where she had once wished to be.”
Quote by -Gloria Steinem
“The best way for us to cultivate fearlessness in our daughters and other young women is by example. If they see their mothers and other women in their lives going forward despite fear, they'll know it's possible.”
Quote by -Gloria Steinem
“Laughter is the only free emotion - the only one that can't be compelled. We can be made to fear. We can even be made to believe we're in love because, if we're kept dependent and isolated for long enough, we bond in order to survive. But laughter explodes like an aha! It comes when the punch line changes everything that has gone before, when two opposites collide and make a third and when we suddenly see a new reality...laughter is an orgasm of the mind.”

Quote by -Gloria Steinem
“At the prompting of some stray instinct or chance association, you will invent delightful or fearsome circumstances, identifying them, with the most shameful doubleness, with the real ones...you will burst into passionate eloquence, or pant in the direst predicament, all for the fun of it, or by virtue of a terrible inner compulsion; and this dream which is byplay, or play which is a waking dream, will exhibit your brooding soul, if not always to moral advantage or with much coherence, at least in its unsuspected ingenuities of invention. What brilliant images, what subtle emotions, what dramatic turns in the argument of a dream, and in the make-believe of children! You seem to dictate and compose your fiction deliberately, rejecting, foreseeing, feeling the oncoming revolution towards which circumstances must be addressed.”
Quote by -George Santayana
People who say, 'There's nothing to fear from spiders' have clearly never been to Australia.
Quote by -Cate Blanchett

Quote by -Gloria Steinem
“Life can be wonderful if you’re not afraid of it. All it takes is courage, imagination … and a little dough.”
Quote by -Charlie Chaplin
God will not have his work made manifest by cowards. Always, always, always, always, always do what you are afraid to do. Do the thing you fear and the death of fear is certain.
Quote by -Ralph Waldo Emerson
Fear is an instructor of great sagacity, and the herald of all revolutions.
Quote by -Ralph Waldo Emerson
What a man does, that he has. What has he to do with hope or fear? In himself is his might. Let him regard no good as solid but that which is in his nature, and which must grow out of him as long as he exists. The goods of fortune may come and go like summer leaves; let him scatter them on every wind as the momentary signs of his infinite productiveness.
Quote by -Ralph Waldo Emerson
When a resolute young fellow steps up to the great bully, the world, and takes him boldly by the beard, he is often surprised to find it comes off in his hand, and that it was only tied on to scare away the timid adventurers.
Quote by -Ralph Waldo Emerson
Don’t waste life in doubts and fears; spend yourself on the work before you, well assured that the right performance of this hour’s duties will be the best preparation for the hours and ages that will follow it.
Quote by -Ralph Waldo Emerson
He who is not everyday conquering some fear has not learned the secret of life.
Quote by -Ralph Waldo Emerson
It was a high counsel that I once heard given to a young person, — “always do what you are afraid to do”
Quote by -Ralph Waldo Emerson
We spend precious hours fearing the inevitable. It would be wise to use that time adoring our families, cherishing our friends and living our lives.
Quote by -Maya Angelou
Timidity makes a person modest. It makes him or her say, 'I'm not worthy of being written up in the record of deeds in heaven or on earth.' Timidity keeps people from their good. They are afraid to say, 'Yes, I deserve it.'
Quote by -Maya Angelou
I believe that one can never leave home. I believe that one carries the shadows, the dreams, the fears and the dragons of home under one's skin, at the extreme corners of one's eyes and possibly in the gristle of the earlobe.
Quote by -Maya Angelou
Out of the huts of history's shame I rise Up from a past that's rooted in pain I rise I'm a black ocean, leaping and wide, Welling and swelling I bear in the tide. Leaving behind nights of terror and fear I rise Into a daybreak that's wondrously clear I rise Bringing the gifts that my ancestors gave, I am the dream and the hope of the slave. I rise I rise I rise.
Quote by -Maya Angelou
Free should the scholar be, — free and brave… Brave; for fear is a thing, which a scholar by his very function puts behind him. Fear always springs from ignorance… The world is his, who can see through its pretension.
Quote by -Ralph Waldo Emerson
“Live! Live the wonderful life that is in you! Let nothing be lost upon you. Be always searching for new sensations. Be afraid of nothing.”
Quote by -Oscar Wilde
