“Most of the time fear overrides confidence. But other times you can control the fear and ride the confidence over it.”

“A little fear is good for a fellow, it keeps him from getting over-confident.”

“We confide in our strength, without boasting of it, we respect that of others, without fearing it.”

“Human spirit is the ability to face the uncertainty of the future with curiosity and optimism. It is the belief that problems can be solved, differences resolved. It is a type of confidence. And it is fragile. It can be blackened by fear, and superstition. By the year 2050, when the conflict began, the world had fallen upon fearful, superstitious times.”

“Act as if you know what you are talking about and people will assume that you do. Pretend you have no fear and you will appear confident to others.”

“If people believe they can be in the wrong place at the wrong time, and they have no control over outside circumstances, those thoughts of fear, separation, and powerlessness, if persistent, can attract them to being in the wrong place at the wrong time.”
