Inspirational Quotes About Overcoming Fear

We are more often frightened than hurt; and we suffer more from imagination than from reality.

Seneca
overcoming-fear-quotes 1

In skating over thin ice our safety is in our speed.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

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.

Nelson Mandela

It is not death that a man should fear, but he should fear never beginning to live.

Marcus Aurelius

He who is not everyday conquering some fear has not learned the secret of life.

Ralph Waldo Emerson
overcoming-fear-quotes 2

Do the thing we fear and the death of fear is certain.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Remembering that I’ll be dead soon is the most important tool I’ve ever encountered to help me make the big choices in life. Because almost everything – all external expectations, all pride, all fear of embarrassment or failure – these things just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is truly important.

Steve Jobs

Too many people are thinking of security instead of opportunity. They seem to be more afraid of life than death.

James F. Byrnes

Fear is the main source of superstition, and one of the main sources of cruelty. To conquer fear is the beginning of wisdom.

Bertrand Russell
overcoming-fear-quotes 3

Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than outright exposure. The fearful are caught as often as the bold.

Helen Keller

Inaction breeds doubt and fear. Action breeds confidence and courage. If you want to conquer fear, do not sit home and think about it. Go out and get busy.

Dale Carnegie

People living deeply have no fear of death.

Anais Nin

If you are distressed by anything external, the pain is not due to the thing itself, but to your estimate of it; and this you have the power to revoke at any moment.

Marcus Aurelius
overcoming-fear-quotes 4

The cave you fear to enter holds the treasure you seek.

Joseph Campbell

Fear: False Evidence Appearing Real.

Unknown

Curiosity will conquer fear even more than bravery will.

James Stephens

To dare is to lose one’s footing momentarily. To not dare is to lose oneself.

Soren Kierkegaard
overcoming-fear-quotes 5

Don’t let the fear of striking out hold you back.

Babe Ruth

You gain strength, courage and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face. You are able to say to yourself, ‘I have lived through this horror. I can take the next thing that comes along.’ You must do the thing you think you cannot do.

Eleanor Roosevelt

The only thing we have to fear is fear itself.

Franklin D. Roosevelt

A person’s success in life can usually be measured by the number of uncomfortable conversations he or she is willing to have.

Tim Ferriss
overcoming-fear-quotes 7

Fear is the path to the Dark Side. Fear leads to anger, anger leads to hate, hate leads to suffering.

Yoda, Star Wars

We can easily forgive a child who is afraid of the dark; the real tragedy of life is when men are afraid of the light.

Plato

Fear keeps us focused on the past or worried about the future. If we can acknowledge our fear, we can realize that right now we are okay. Right now, today, we are still alive, and our bodies are working marvelously. Our eyes can still see the beautiful sky. Our ears can still hear the voices of our loved ones.

Thich Nhat Hanh

There is no illusion greater than fear.

Lao Tzu
overcoming-fear-quotes 6

One of the greatest discoveries a man makes, one of his great surprises, is to find he can do what he was afraid he couldn’t do.

Henry Ford

I’m not afraid of storms, for I’m learning how to sail my ship.

Louisa May Alcott

It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.

Theodore Roosevelt

When I hear music, I fear no danger. I am invulnerable. I see no foe. I am related to the earliest times, and to the latest.

Henry David Thoreau
overcoming-fear-quotes 8

The enemy is fear. We think it is hate; but, it is fear.

Gandhi

Each of us must confront our own fears, must come face to face with them. How we handle our fears will determine where we go with the rest of our lives. To experience adventure or to be limited by the fear of it.

Judy Blume

When a resolute young fellow steps up to the great bully, the world, and takes him boldly by the beard, he is often surprised to find it comes off in his hand, and that it was only tied on to scare away the timid adventurers.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Find out what you’re afraid of and go live there.

Chuck Palahniuk
overcoming-fear-quotes 9

Do one thing every day that scares you.

Eleanor Roosevelt

Fears are educated into us, and can, if we wish, be educated out.

Karl Augustus Menninger

Of all the liars in the world, sometimes the worst are our own fears.

Rudyard Kipling

If you look into your own heart, and you find nothing wrong there, what is there to worry about? What is there to fear?

Confucius
overcoming-fear-quotes 14

Ignorance is the parent of fear.

Herman Melville

I am not afraid of tomorrow, for I have seen yesterday and I love today.

 William Allen White

We should all start to live before we get too old. Fear is stupid. So are regrets.

Marilyn Monroe

There is only one thing that makes a dream impossible to achieve: the fear of failure.

Paulo Coelho
overcoming-fear-quotes 10

Fear is the lengthened shadow of ignorance.

Arnold Glasow

Nothing in life is to be feared, it is only to be understood. Now is the time to understand more, so that we may fear less.

Marie Curie

Instead of worrying about what people say of you, why not spend time trying to accomplish something they will admire.

Dale Carnegie

Of all forms of caution, caution in love is perhaps the most fatal to true happiness.

Bertrand Russell
overcoming-fear-quotes 11

Laughter is poison to fear.

George R.R. Martin

Fear is pain arising from the anticipation of evil.

Aristotle

Don’t fear failure so much that you refuse to try new things. The saddest summary of a life contains three descriptions: could have, might have, and should have.

Louis E. Boone

You can discover what your enemy fears most by observing the means he uses to frighten you.

Eric Hoffer

The best way out is always through.

Robert Frost
overcoming-fear-quotes 12

To overcome fear, here’s all you have to do: realize the fear is there, and do the action you fear anyway.

Peter McWilliams

Fear defeats more people than any other one thing in the world.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Everything you want is on the other side of fear.

Jack Canfield

There are times when fear is good. It must keep its watchful place at the heart’s controls.

Aeschylus

Obstacles are like wild animals. They are cowards but they will bluff you if they can. If they see you are afraid of them… they are liable to spring upon you; but if you look them squarely in the eye, they will slink out of sight.

Orison Swett Marden
overcoming-fear-quotes 13

There are very few monsters who warrant the fear we have of them.

Andre Gide

The greatest mistake we make is living in constant fear that we will make one.

John C. Maxwell

The way you overcome shyness is to become so wrapped up in something that you forget to be afraid.

Lady Bird Johnson

Fear makes strangers of people who would be friends.

Shirley Maclaine

If you’re not willing to risk, you cannot grow. If you cannot grow, you cannot be your best. If you cannot be your best, you cannot be happy. If you cannot be happy, what else is there?

Les Brown

A Final Word
