 Fears are educated into us and can, if we wish, be educated out.
... Karl A. Menninger
He who fears he will suffer, already suffers from his fear.

We cannot escape fear. We can only transform it into a companion that
accompanies us on all our exciting adventures.
... Susan Jeffers
Fear cannot be banished, but it can be calm and without panic; and it can be
mitigated by reason and evaluation.
... Vannevar Bush (1890-1974)
We probably wouldn't worry about what people think about us if we knew how
seldom they do.
... Olin Miller
What we see depends mainly on what we look for.
... John Lubbock
To dare is to lose one's footing momentarily. To not dare is to lose oneself.
... Soren Kierkegaard
You gain strength, courage and confidence by every experience in which you
really stop to look fear in the face. You must do the thing which you think you cannot do.
... Anna Eleanor Roosevelt
The way to develop self-confidence is to do the thing you fear and get a record of
successful experiences behind you. Destiny is not a matter of chance, it is a matter of choice; it is not a thing to be waited for, it is a thing to be achieved.
... William Jennings Bryant (1860-1925)
He has not learned the lesson of life who does not every day surmount a fear.
... Gaius Julius Caesar (100-44 B.C.)
Courage is resistance to fear, mastery of fear - not absence of fear.
... Mark Twain
Courage is a special kind of knowledge; the knowledge of how to fear what
ought to be feared and how not to fear what ought not to be feared.
... David Ben-Gurion
I'm not afraid of storms for I'm learning how to sail my ship.
... Louisa May Alcott (1868)
It takes more courage to reveal insecurities than to hide them, more strength to
relate to people than to dominate them, more 'manhood' to abide by thought-out principles rather than blind reflex. Toughness is in the soul and spirit, not in muscles
and an immature mind.
... Alex Karras
I have not ceased being fearful, but I have ceased to let fear control me. I have
accepted fear as part of life - specifically the fear of change, the fear of the unknown and I have gone ahead despite the pounding in my heart that says turn back,
turn back, you'll die if you venture too far.
... Erica Jong
Nothing can bring you peace but yourself.
... Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803-1882)
Character cannot be developed in ease and quiet. Only through experience of trial
and suffering can the soul be strengthened, ambition inspired and success achieved.
... Helen Keller
A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.
... Chinese Proverb
To fight fear, act. To increase fear - wait, put off, postpone.
... David Joseph Schwartz
Look not back in anger, nor forward in fear but around you in awareness.
... Ross Hersey
Always look at what you have left. Never look at what you have lost.
... Robert H. Schuller
Better to do something imperfectly than to do nothing flawlessly.
... Robert H. Schuller
I had gone through life thinking that I was better than everyone else and at the
same time, being afraid of everyone. I was afraid to be me.
... Dennis Wholey
Make the most of yourself, for that is all there is of you.
... Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803-1882)
Whether you think that you can or you can't,
you are usually right.
... Henry Ford
Those with a high level of confidence may have as many or more weaknesses than
those with low self-esteem. The difference is this; instead of dwelling on their handicaps, they compensate for them by dwelling on their strengths.
... Alan Loy McGinnis
If you listen to your fears, you will die never knowing what a great person you
might have been.
... Robert H. Schuller
My imperfections and failures are as much a blessing from God as my successes
and my talents and I lay them both at his feet.
... Mohandas K. Gandhi
Failure should be our teacher, not our undertaker. Failure is delay not defeat. It is
a temporary detour, not a dead end. Failure is something we can avoid only by saying nothing, doing nothing and being nothing.
... Dennis Waitley
Failure is only the opportunity to more intelligently begin again.
... Henry Ford
Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do
than by the ones you did. So throw off the bowlines. sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.
... Mark Twain
History has demonstrated that the most notable winners usually encountered
heartbraking obstacles before they triumphed. They won because they refused to become discouraged by their defeats.
... Bertie C. Forbes

overpower an entire army of negative thoughts.
