“I know, from the three visits I made to him, the blended composite of love and fear that exists only in a boy's notion of his father.” 
― Donald Miller

“With a hangover and with fear, it is difficult to put a helmet on your head.” 
― Tim O'Brien

“…it was a brave man’s fear. I knew what he meant. What must a brave general feel when he knows the battle has gone against him and nothing remains but death?” 
― Anne Rice

“There lay between them, separating them, that same terrible line of the unknown and of fear, like the line separating the living from the dead.” 
― Leo Tolstoy

“Our evolution depends on our memory. If we keep forgetting the mistakes of the past, only to keep repeating them, then we will never change. And if we keep recycling through the exact same kind of leaders— the kind who do not propel us forward, but only hold us back—then perhaps what we really need now is a completely different style of leadership altogether. We need heart-driven leaders, not strictly mind-driven ones. We need compassionate humanitarians, not greedy businessmen. Peacemakers, not war instigators. We need unity, not division. Angels, not devils.” 
― Suzy Kassem

“Simple shifts in points of view can open doors to expansions of consciousness as easily as rigid dispositions can close hearts and minds to such elevated awareness. It generally depends on whether you allow fear and violence to rule your actions or whether you give wisdom, courage, and compassion the authority to do so.” 
― Aberjhani

“Trustful people are the pure at heart, as they are moved by the zeal of their own trustworthiness.” 
― Criss Jami

“Never say that you can't do something, or that something seems impossible, or that something can't be done, no matter how discouraging or harrowing it may be; human beings are limited only by what we allow ourselves to be limited by: our own minds. We are each the masters of our own reality; when we become self-aware to this: absolutely anything in the world is possible.
Master yourself, and become king of the world around you. Let no odds, chastisement, exile, doubt, fear, or ANY mental virii prevent you from accomplishing your dreams. Never be a victim of life; be it's conqueror.” 
― Mike Norton
