My Three Aphorisms

Aphorisms

1. "I have no fear, for fear is the little death that kills me over and over. Without fear, I die but once."-          Frank Herbert

This quote is an excerpt from Dune by Frank Herbert. It tells us to face our fears in order to reach our goals. This quote applies to me because I attempt to conquer my fears so that I can achieve what I strive for and become a stronger individual.

2. "Success seems to be connected with action. Successful people keep moving. They make mistakes,        but they don't quit."-Conrad Hilton

I think of this quote whenever I start giving up. It means that people must try in order to succeed. This quote helps motivate me to continue to work hard to accomplish my goals.

3. "Everybody stutters one way or the other so check out my message to you. As a matter of fact, don't let              nothing hold you back, if the scatman can do it so can you."-John Scatman

This quote means that people should not be ashamed of who they are and they should always persevere. This applies to me in that I am proud of who I am and I will not cease to be who I am due to other people's judgement of me.
