The stream of thought flows on; but most of its segments fall into the bottomless abyss of oblivion. Of some, no memory survives the instant of their passage. Of others, it is confined to a few moments, hours or days. Others, again, leave vestiges which are indestructible, and by means of which they may be recalled as long as life endures.
William JamesSo to feel brave, act as if we were brave, use all our will to that end...and a courage-fit will very likely replace the fit of fear.
