In this life struggle here I am among you fully cognizant that a true believer has no fear of what God has ordained for him. Those who are visited by fear live only for their present under the illusion that the world began with them and will end with their departure.

My main concern with the condition of mathematics in high school is that there's a lot of fear involved! Math is not generally speaking presented in a fun way. The concepts as I see them are fun and that's the way I'd like to convey them myself.

I was probably more scared of my high school exams than I was of the Oscars. At the time you think it's everything and if you don't do well your life's over. Opportunities are gone. So the more you do it the less the fear is present.

There is nothing strange about fear: no matter in what guise it presents itself it is something with which we are all so familiar that when a man appears who is without it we are at once enslaved by him.

You feel sometimes when you hear analysts and knowledgeable people talking about Iran that they fear so much about the survival of the regime because deep down it's not a legitimate regime it doesn't represent the will of the people it's kind of morphed into kind of a military theocracy.

Look not mournfully into the past it comes not back again. Wisely improve the present it is thine. Go forth to meet the shadowy future without fear and with a manly heart.

We should not fret for what is past nor should we be anxious about the future men of discernment deal only with the present moment.

Pick the day. Enjoy it - to the hilt. The day as it comes. People as they come... The past I think has helped me appreciate the present - and I don't want to spoil any of it by fretting about the future.

When you're famous you don't get to meet people because they want you to like them when the present themselves to you and you don't see the real people.

My parents did a great job raising me and my two sisters. We all graduated from high school and we all graduated from college. So to be a good representative of my family is probably my greatest accomplishment thus far.
