“Courage faces fear and thereby masters it”

“You gain strength, courage and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face.”

“there is no harm in being afraid. The only harm is in doing what Fear tells you. Fear is not your master! Laugh in his face and he will run away.”

“I tell you loneliness is the thing to master. Courage and fear, love, death are only parts of it and can easily be ruled afterwards. If I make myself master my own loneliness there will be peace or safety: and perhaps these are the same.”

“Courage is resistance to fear, mastery of fear - not absence of fear.”

“"What is love?"
"The total absence of fear," said the Master.
"What is it we fear?"
"Love," said the Master.”

“Courage is when we can overcome the fear and apprehension that pervades our hearts and minds when we find no other way out except by facing danger.”

“Fearlessness may be a gift but perhaps more precious is the courage acquired through endeavour, courage that comes from cultivating the habit of refusing to let fear dictate one's actions, courage that could be described as "grace under pressure" — grace which is renewed repeatedly in the face of harsh, unremitting pressure.”

“… a man of great common sense and good taste, meaning thereby a man without originality or moral courage.”

“Sit with closed eyes in the early morning. Meditate on courage, the opposite of fear, for half an hour. Think of the advantages of courage and the disadvantages of fear.”
