    On the subject of having courage in the face of danger, I always found this quotation from the great writer Frank Herbert to be of great value: I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little death that brings total oblivion. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me and turn my inner eye to follow its path. When the fear is gone, only I will remain. --The Litany Against Fear (Frank Herbert, -Dune-, 1965) Any other suggestions from our great collection of coders?

      How do I cope with fear? What's fear? ;)

      If there is one thing more dangerous than getting between a bear and her cubs it's getting between my wife and her chocolate.

            I'm not sure you can call it a quote, it was the mind settling chant of the benne gesserit (spelling has got to be off, I have not read a dune book for ages) and part of the books.

                  You know, you are probably right. It may not be verbatim from the book. I actually saw this quoted several decades ago posted as a quote from the book and it prompted me to read the book - three times! I could never actually find the quote in the book, but that did not diminish the intense pleasure of staring into the great mind of Herbert at work. If only I had that man's imagination and writing skills. Aaah well, the neurons are getting rusty. Maybe I can shake them loose by banging my head a few times. Of course it will help a lot if I could first lubricate them with some of Nagy's g&t. Got a bottle to spare an old man, Nagy?

                    As she runs, Arya thinks of everything Syrio has told her: “Swift as a deer. Quiet as a shadow. Quick as a snake. Calm as still water. Fear cuts deeper than swords. Strong as a bear. Fierce as a wolverine. Fear cuts deeper than swords. The man who fears losing has already lost. Fear cuts deeper than swords…”

                      Loosely paraphrased from the original quotation?: Kill them all, God will recognize his own. --Amalric Arnaud, during the seige of Be'ziers (1209 AD), addressing soldiers who asked him how to tell the difference between the heretics and the orthodox Catholics.

                                  I hear what you say! Depends on the context of the situation. Very often silence is the easy way out. IOW the way of the coward. In most cases the advice of the Tao Te Ching applies:

                                  Quote:

                                  Confront the difficult while it is still easy;

                                    Remember: It's better to remain silent and maybe appear to be stupid than to speak and remove any doubt. :D

                                    The good thing about pessimism is, that you are always either right or pleasently surprised.

                                        I remember this: "Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me." - Psalm 23:4 Regards, Mike
