Mind your feet, don’t stumble, and don’t be afraid. Because there never was a better time not to be afraid.
Anyway, you think for yourself. And if a man can’t do that, he isn’t really thinking.
But if I feared it, I faced up to it anyway. A man’s got to be a man sometime. You show me one who was nair afraid, and I’ll right away show you one that nair in his life came up against aught to fear.
