-For urum Þeode-

To conquer fear you must become fear.
You must bask in the fear of other men.
Courage is resistance to fear, mastery of fear - not absence of fear.
You can discover what your enemy fears most by observing the means he uses to frighten you.
None but a coward dares to boast that he has never known fear.
You see what power is - holding someone else's fear in your hand and showing it to them!
Since love and fear can hardly exist together, if we must choose between them, it is far safer to be feared than loved.
It is when power is wedded to chronic fear that it becomes formidable.
