It Is Not Death Or Pain That Is To Be Dreaded But

It is better to die of hunger having lived without grief and fear, than to live with a troubled mind.

There is no birth of consciousness without pain.

Man is not worried by real problems so much as by his imagined anxieties about real problems.

The pressure of adversity does not affect the mind of the brave

We are more often frightened than hurt; and we suffer more from imagination than from reality

Life contains but two tragedies. One is not to get your heart's desire; the other is to get it.
