“Remember, the only thing to fear is Fear, and - well, don't even fear Fear, for he's a cowardly chap at the best, who will run if you show a brave front.”

“It is true that only a coward can be brave, as a man who feels no fear has conquered nothing.”

“Fear! Fear again, for the first time since his 'teens. Fear, that he thought he would never know any more. Fear that no weapon, no jeopardy, no natural cataclysm, has ever been able to inspire until now. And now here it is running icily through him in the hot Chinese noon. Fear for the thing he loves, the only fear that can ever wholly cow the reckless and the brave. ("Jane Brown's Body")”

“It is only the brave who win life’s rewards. Those who don’t overcome their fears are destined to fail at even the least things.”

“The brave man is not the one who has no fears, he is the one who triumphs over his fears.”

“Cowards make the best torturers. Cowards understand fear and they can use it.”
