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. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.
Do not go where the path may lead, go instead where there is no path and leave a trail.
Any path is only a path, and there is no affront to oneself or to others, in dropping it if that is what your heart tells you.
Behold the man who shields his family from all suffering. Has not his body become a willing vessel for affliction? Without good men to hold it up, the family house will fall when misfortune descends.
A leader is someone who compels others to positive action by the power of their own positive action.
