“The worst decisions of your life will always be those that are made out of fear.”

“Life is made up of chances to make choices, decisions of what you wish to do; the accumulated result of those choices is what you call your life.”

“The time to take counsel of your fears is before you make an important battle decision. That’s the time to listen to every fear you can imagine! When you have collected all the facts and fears and made your decision, turn off all your fears and go ahead!”

“If you have always suspected your sister of an inclination to madness, it will be my pleasure to confirm your worst fears.”

“To have endured horrors, to have seen the worst of humanity and have your life made unrecognizable by it, to come out of all that honorable and brave— that was magical.”

“Do not fear your enemies. The worst they can do is kill you. Do not fear friends. At worst, they may betray you. Fear those who do not care; they neither kill nor betray, but betrayal and murder exist because of their silent consent.”
