Fears vs. Dreams


Consult not your fears but your hopes and your dreams.
Think not about your frustrations,
but about your unfulfilled potential.
Concern yourself not with what you tried and failed in,
but with what it is still possible for you to do.
- Pope John XXIII

The task we must set for ourselves is not to feel secure,
but to be able to tolerate insecurity.
- Erich Fromm

People are never more insecure than when they become
obsessed with their fears at the expense of their dreams.
- Norman Cousins

It is playing safe that we create a world of utmost insecurity.
- Dag Hammarskjold
