We Should Be Courageous Enough to Make Mistakes and Wise Enough to Learn From Them "The great virtue of man lies in his ability to
correct his mistakes and continually make a new man of himself." "Fear brings about that which one is afraid of and
hyperintention makes impossible what one wishes." We hope vaguely but dread precisely." Paul Valéry "How very little can be done under the atmosphere of fear." Florence Nightingale "The most destructive element in the human mind is fear. Fear creates aggressiveness; aggressiveness engenders hostility; hostility engenders fear…a disastrous cycle." Dorothy Thompson "The greatest mistake you can make is to be continually fearing you will make one." Elbert Hubbard "Keep you fears to yourself, but share your courage with others." Robert Louis Stevenson In Order to Dispel Fear, Face Reality and Get Busy "Do not weep; do not wax indignant. Understand."
