• "Death: There's nothing bad about it at all except the thing that comes before it—the fear of it."

  ~ Seneca quotes from Letters from a Stoic

  Inspirational Quotes on: Wisdom, Death, Fear

• You are good when you strive to give of yourself. Yet you are not evil when you seek gain for yourself. For when you strive for gain you are but a root that clings to the earth and sucks at her breast. Surely the fruit cannot say to the root, 'Be like me, ripe and full and ever giving of your abundance.' For to the fruit giving is a need as receiving is a need to the root.

  ~ Kahlil Gibran quotes from The Prophet

• The release of atomic energy has not created a new problem. It has merely made more urgent the necessity of solving an existing one.

  ~ Albert Einstein quotes

• Henry Fonda was still throwing up before each stage performance, even when he was seventy-five. In other words, fear doesn't go away. The warrior and the artist live by the same code of necessity, which dictates that the battle must be fought anew every day.

• I don’t think there is any such thing as an ordinary mortal. Everybody has his own possibility of rapture in the experience of life. All he has to do is recognize it and then cultivate it and get going with it. I always feel uncomfortable when people speak about ordinary mortals because I’ve never met an ordinary man, woman, or child.

  ~ Joseph Campbell quotes from The Power of Myth
