Fear is the parent of cruelty. To conquer fear is the beginning of wisdom. The angry man will defeat himself in battle as well as in life. Fear is the oldest and strongest emotion of mankind. Fear is the mind-killer.
Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration.
I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain .
