Great Throughts Treasury

"Fear, the opposite of boldness, is the most paralyzing of all emotions...Fear, like hopes and dreams, have a way of clothing themselves ultimately with reality."

"Love life. Be grateful for it always. And show your gratitude by not shying away from its challenges. Try always to live a little bit beyond your capacities. You’ll find that you never succeed."

"Life is mostly froth and bubble, two things stand like stone; kindness in another’s trouble, courage in your own."
