Fools rush in where angels fear to tread. There are very few monsters who warrant the fear we have of them. I fear not the man who has practiced 10,000 kicks once, but I fear the man who had practiced one kick 10,000 times. Clinging to temporary things gives them power over us, and they become sources of pain and fear. Our fears are more numerous than our dangers, and we suffer more in our imagination than reality. He will never have true friends who is afraid of making enemies. Better to jump and make a mistake than sit there too frightened to make a move. Inaction breeds doubt and fear. Action breeds confidence and courage. A man who fears suffering is already suffering from what he fears. The cave you fear to enter holds the treasure you seek.
