May we understand that fear of failure is worse than failure itself

Being afraid of having an endoscopy (if you're a man) and giving birth (if you're a woman).

Still, being fragile creatures, humans always try to hide from themselves the certainty that they will die. They do not see that it is death itself that motivates them to do the best things in their lives. They are afraid to step into the dark, afraid of the unknown, and their only way of conquering that fear is to ignore the fact that their days are numbered. They do not see that with an awareness of death, they would be able to be even more daring, to go much further in their daily conquests, because then they would have nothing to lose- for death itself is inevitable.

You cannot trust a person until you know where and how he lives

True love does not consist in trying to correct others, but in feeling joy that things are better than we expected.

If you go around promising what you do not yet have, you will lose the will to achieve it.

The energy of hatred won't get you anywhere; but the energy of forgiveness, which reveals itself through love, will transform your life in a positive way.
