About This Quote
Fear is an aid to the warrior. It is a small fire burning. It heats the muscles, making us stronger. Panic comes when the fire is out of control, consuming all courage and pride.
Fear does not make us stronger. It makes us weaker. A small fire cannot be controlled, only extinguished.
The fear of falling does not frighten us into falling; it gives us the strength to climb back up again. The fear that paralyzes us will never become an aid to the warrior, because that fear is not part of his nature.
