“We fear to know the fearsome and unsavory aspects of ourselves, but we fear even more to know the godlike in ourselves.”

“The persona can eventually become ourselves, or an aspect of ourselves, to the point where we don't know which is the mask and which is the I.”

“The point is, we can decry the dangers we face or ignore them or even allow ourselves to be paralyzed by fear.”

“God knows best who we are and why we were created and therefore, we should concern ourselves only with the fear of God, love of God and obedience to God's commands.”

“Why are we so full of restraint? Why do we not give in all directions? Is it fear of losing ourselves? Until we do lose ourselves there is no hope of finding ourselves.”

“Fear, to a great extent, is born of a story we tell ourselves…”

“When, as we must often do, we fear science, we really fear ourselves. Human dignity is better served by embracing knowledge.”

“We're as good at talking ourselves out of fear as into it, aren't we? Maybe better.”

“We have to tune ourselves into the love frequency because it's higher than fear.”

“We never know how high we are
Till we are called to rise;
And then, if we are true to plan,
Our statures touch the skies.

The heroism we recite
Would be a daily thing,
Did not ourselves the cubits warp
For fear to be a king.”
