I learned that courage was not the absence of fear, but the triumph over it. The brave man is not he who does not feel afraid, but he who conquers that fear.
His own self must be conquered by the king for all time; then only are his enemies to be conquered.
Do the thing you fear to do and keep on doing it... that is the quickest and surest way ever yet discovered to conquer fear.
Attempt easy tasks as if they were difficult, and difficult as if they were easy; in the one case that confidence may not fall asleep, in the other that it may not be dismayed.
Bravery is not the absence of fear, it is overcoming it.
Do what you fear and fear disappears.
Don't do anything for fear, because fear will never do anything for you.
I think you can separate yourself from your fears. You know what you should do, and it's just scary to do it. But I'd hate to let the fact that I'm scared to do it make me not do it. It ends up defining you. Because the moves you make are then based on what you don't want to do.
Accept the challenges so that you can feel the exhilaration of victory.
Confront your fears, list them, get to know them, and only then will you be able to put them aside and move ahead.
To conquer fear is the beginning of wisdom.
How can you defy fear? Fear is a human instinct, just like hunger. Whether you like it or not, you become hungry. Similarly with fear. But I have learned to train myself to live with this fear.
I, like everybody else, have a certain fear of heights, and I have to be very careful when I am in the clouds, but it is also what I love; it is my domain, so when you love something, you don't have fear.
For me, personally, when I'm afraid of something - when you're afraid of something, normally you try to go away, you try to avoid it. Instead of avoiding it, to overcome your fear, I believe you need to embrace it.
If you're afraid of something, face it. Fear is irrational. The only way to conquer your fear is to stand next to it.
Just go for it. Don't be afraid of trying new things. You have absolutely no idea what's going to present itself to you. Don't be frightened. Just buckle down and do whatever your heart desires.
I delight in what I fear.
We are not here to triumph by fighting, by strata gem, or by resistance, not to fight with beasts as men. We have fought the beast and have conquered. We have only to conquer now, by suffering. This is the easier victory.
Just go out there and do what you have to do.
Keep a meter on your fear. Fear can cripple you.
There is something about a cup final that brings out a different quality in a footballer. Do they have the courage to win a one-off match?
Stand up to your obstacles and do something about them. You will find that they haven't half the strength you think they have.
You should never let your fears prevent you from doing what you know is right.

I don't run away from a challenge because I am afraid. Instead, I run toward it because the only way to escape fear is to trample it beneath your feet.
If it's your job to eat a frog, it's best to do it first thing in the morning. And If it's your job to eat two frogs, it's best to eat the biggest one first.
