“Fear not that thy life shall come to an end, but rather fear that it shall never have a beginning.”
“Perhaps the best cure for the fear of death is to reflect that life has a beginning as well as an end. There was a time when we were not: this gives us no concern. Why, then, should it trouble us that a time will come when we shall cease to be?”
“This is the ending. Now not day only shall be beloved, but night too shall be beautiful and blessed and all its fear pass away.”
“Life begins where fear ends.”
“If a man will begin with certainties, he shall end in doubts; but if he will be content to begin with doubts, he shall end in certainties.”
“I fear I shall be a clinger to the outsides of words all my life.”
