The only thing we have to fear is fear itself-and possibly teh bogey man.
Courage is resistance to fear, mastery of fear, not absence of fear.
Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.
Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our Light, not our Darkness, that most frightens us.
