![“Hope strengthens. Fear kills[...] That simple adage is master of every situation, every choice. Each morning we wake up, we get to choose between hope and fear and apply one of those emotions to everything we do. Do we greet things that come our way with joy? Or suspicion?” quote by Karen Marie Moning](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/3fe/karen-marie-moning-189_adages_hope-strengthens-fear-kills-that-simple_795560.jpg)
![“Fear cannot be without hope nor hope without fear. [They are the two sides of a coin, so learning how to manage fear through learning, understanding, rationality, controlled imagination, preparation, mental focus (including distraction) and a gratitude attitude is very helpful.]” quote by Baruch Spinoza](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/d90/baruch-spinoza-1338_anticipation_fear-cannot-be-without-hope-nor-hope-wit_304096.jpg)
