“One is never afraid of the unknown one is afraid of the known coming to an end.”— Jiddu Krishnamurti Related Quotes “Fear is a desolate boneyard where our dreams go to desiccate in the hot sun.”— Elizabeth Gilbert “Sometimes, the greatest safety can be found in taking the right risk. Whether it be an individual, a community or a country, when faced with tragedy or fearful uncertainty, we either become bigger and enter life more fully, or else we accept a diminished life and resign ourselves to a smaller way of being.”— Michael Meade “I don’t run away from a challenge because I am afraid. Instead, I run toward it because the only way to escape fear is to trample it beneath your feet.”– Nadia Comaneci
