“I must not fear. 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.

“It is a great thing to start life with a small number of really good books which are your very own.”

“If you want to know what a man's like, take a good look at how he treats his inferiors, not his equals.”
