All tyrannies operate through fear. Throughout history, the men and women who have advanced the cause of freedom are those who were not afraid.

How many throughout history have sacrificed their freedom, their very lives, to a lie, because fear of the truth is the greatest fear of mankind.

In solitude every fear, every longing, becomes exaggerated.

The mind creates all these doubts and fears which only action can cure.

What one is afraid to face must be the truth.

The children forbidden to play with fire are the ones who get burnt.

The mouse that fears the trap has already been trapped.

There are always more fire alarms than fires.

What most people call "love" is just their dread of being alone.
