Live a good life. If there are gods and they are just, then they will not care how devout you have been, but will welcome you based on the virtues you have lived by. If there are gods, but unjust, then you should not want to worship them. If there are no gods, then you will be gone, but will have lived a noble life that will live on in the memories of your loved ones. I am not afraid.
Marcus Aurelius
Americans have the right and advantage of being armed, unlike the people of other countries, whose leaders are afraid to trust them with arms.
James Madison
Suicide sometimes proceeds from cowardice, but not always; for cowardice sometimes prevents it; since as many live because they are afraid to die, as die because they are afraid to live
Charles Caleb Colton
We live in an age disturbed, confused, bewildered, afraid of its own forces, in search not merely of its road but even of its direction.
Woodrow T. Wilson
I don't run away from a challenge because I am afraid. Instead, I run toward it because the only way to escape fear is to trample it beneath your feet
Nadia Comaneci
America is the most grandiose experiment the world has seen, but, I am afraid, it is not going to be a success.
Sigmund Freud
If you're caught on a golf course during a storm and are afraid of lightning, hold up a 1-iron. Not even God can hit a 1-iron
Lee Trevino
What a man is ashamed of is always at bottom himself; and he is ashamed of himself at bottom always for being afraid.
Robin G. Collingwood
The enemy is like a woman, weak in face of opposition, but correspondingly strong when not opposed. In a quarrel with a man, it is natural for a woman to lose heart and run away when he faces up to her; on the other hand, if the man begins to be afraid and to give ground, her rage, vindictiveness and fury overflow and know no limit.
St. Ignatius Loyola
He that is afraid of bad luck will never know good
Russian Proverb
In order to rally people, governments need enemies. They want us to be afraid, to hate, so we will rally behind them. And if they do not have a real enemy, they will invent one in order to mobilize us
Thich Nhat Hanh
Xenophobia, you should be more afraid of someone exactly like you"
