Emotions and Feelings

A man who doesn't dream is like a man who doesn't sweat: he stores up a lot of poison.

Nothing in life is to be feared, it is only to be understood. Now is the time to understand more, so that we may fear less.

We all have to take defeats in life.

The actual tragedies of life bear no relation to one's preconceived ideas. In the event, one is always bewildered by their simplicity, their grandeur of design, and by that element of the bizarre which seems inherent in them.

Nothing is more simple than greatness; indeed, to be simple is to be great.

Genius is eternal patience.

Security is mostly a superstition. It does not exist in nature, nor do the children of men as a whole experience it. Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than outright exposure. Life is either a daring adventure or nothing.

Arm yourselves, and be ye men of valour, and be in readiness for the conflict; for it is better for us to perish in battle than to look upon the outrage of our nation and our altar.

One day Alice came to a fork in the road and saw a Cheshire cat in a tree. 'Which road do I take?' she asked. His response was a question: 'Where do you want to go?' 'I don't know,' Alice answered. 'Then,' said the cat, 'it doesn't matter.'

Do or do not. There is no try.

If you think you can, or you think you can't, you’re right!

In any moment of decision, the best thing you can do is the right thing. The worst thing you can do is nothing.

I think of a hero as someone who understands the degree of responsibility that comes with his freedom.

Let my name stand among those who are willing to bear ridicule and reproach for the truth's sake, and so earn some right to rejoice when the victory is won.

Believe in yourself. You gain strength, courage, and confidence by every experience in which you stop to look fear in the face. You must do that which you think you cannot do.

When I examine myself and my methods of thought, I come to the conclusion that the gift of fantasy has meant more to me than my talent for absorbing positive knowledge.

There is no man living who isn't capable of doing more than he thinks he can do.

To be nobody but yourself in a world which is doing its best, night and day, to make you somebody else means to fight the hardest battle which any human being can fight; and never stop fighting.

I am always doing that which I cannot do, in order that I may learn how to do it.

The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy.
