Courage leads starward, fear toward death.
I shall never be ashamed of citing a bad author if the line is good.
We should every night call ourselves to an account: What infirmity have I mastered today? What passions opposed! What temptation resisted? What virtue acquired?
If you wish to fear nothing, consider that everything is to be feared.
Unhappy is the man, though he rule the world, who doesn't consider himself supremely blessed.
It is not death we fear, but the thought of it.
