George Bernard Shaw

You use a glass mirror to see your face; you use works of art to see your soul.

Don’t order any black things. Rejoice in his memory; and be radiant: leave grief to the children. Wear violet and purple. Be patient with the poor people who will snivel: they don’t know; and they think they will live for ever, which makes death a division instead of a bond.

What we call education and culture is for the most part nothing but the substitution of reading for experience, of literature for life, of the obsolete fictitious for the contemporary real.

I don’t want to talk grammar. I want to talk like a lady.

Hell is full of musical amateurs.

You cannot have power for good without having power for evil too. Even mother’s milk nourishes murderers as well as heroes.

Don’t let your fears overwhelm your desire. Let the barriers you face, and there will be barriers, be external, not internal. Fortune does favor the bold, and I promise that you will never know what you’re capable of unless you try.

I believe that anyone can conquer fear by doing the things he fears to do

Fear is the path to the dark side. Fear leads to anger. Anger leads to hate. Hate leads to suffering.

Fear is a useless emotion. Don’t ever make decisions based on fear. Make decisions based on hope and possibility.

The fear of death follows from the fear of life. A man who lives fully is prepared to die at any time.

Don’t ever make decisions based on fear. Make decisions based on hope and possibility. Make decisions based on what should happen, not what shouldn’t.

Fear is implanted in us as a preservative from evil; but its duty, like that of other passions, is not to overbear reason, but to assist it. It should not be suffered to tyrannize

What we fear doing most is usually what we most need to do.

Fear is primarily a creation of the mind. I create it in my mind-it doesn’t really exist outside the mind. I can dissolve it there as well. – John Mackey

My greatest fear is getting bored.

Don’t be afraid of fear. Because it sharpens you, it challenges you, it makes you stronger; and when you run away from fear, you also run away from the opportunity to be your best possible self.

Fear is static that prevents me from hearing myself.

Nothing is so much to be feared as fear.

Do the thing you fear most and the death of fear is certain.

Where there is reverence there is fear, but there is not reverence everywhere that there is fear, because fear presumably has a wider extension than reverence.
